WEIHAN, the neo-folk/neo-classical project of J.S. (Theudho) and M.B. (Simulacra) which has released albums on labels such as Cynfeirdd, Old Europa Cafe and Lichterklang, has released its new full length LEVENSBRON (“Source of life”) on 1 November.
With Levensbron, Weihan returns to the sound they portrayed on their debut Galder, yet they matured both in songwriting as in production.
Acoustic guitars and deep melancholic strings accompanied by the characteristic soft spoken vocals and choir like chants create an unheimlich atmosphere, which lasts throughout the entire album.
Don’t expect happy folk tunes, but emotional songs with Dutch poetic lyrics as a tribute to nature and Weihan ancestral grounds, Flanders.
You can stream the track ‘Eeuwenoud’ through the bands Bandcamp page: https://weihan.bandcamp.com/
