Ruah - Ruwa

cygul9911 After the promising "Smothered" the new "Ruwa" shows us a new face of Ruah. Monotonous sounds, great and slow passionate vocals and additionally used instruments show that the project is going in a new direction and is constantly developing. After the first listening, you can see a difference between the debut. More heavier and static sounds, less singing or guitars. Is it better? I don't know. It's different. I love "Smothered" but "Ruwa" is great and original in its own way. Highly recommend. Favorite track: Lord Come Down.

about

Ruah's first full length album "Ruwa'' sees producer/songwriter Benjamin Schurr laying the groundwork for the project utilizing various types of analog, warm guttural distortions against hypnotic mantras, speaker rattling bass synths, post-industrial rhythms, ethereal pads and ancient acoustic instruments.
"Lyrically I wanted to focus on the power of belief and devotion in the face of a pervasive violent uncertainty. Sonically I wanted to maintain the songcraft I was honing with my old band Br'er but take it into new, unfamiliar realms and make sure that all the sounds felt both unknown to me and also emotionally affecting". The record was recorded between Richmond VA and Philadelphia, where Schurr was born and recently returned, features guests Maura Pond (Luna Honey, Nyxy Nyx,) and Madeline Johnston (midwife)
