There are perhaps traces of Vini Reilly and The Durruti Column too in the hushed vocal melancholia found throughout the spacious song, but such comparisons might be akin to tracing the outlines of drifting Cumulus, Stratus, and Cirrus until they coalesce into a cascading Nimbus stormcloud.īeautiful Illusions was originally envisioned as an entirely instrumental affair, but the resulting record vignettes its melodies with a garland of soft vocal shivers and sighs that if “Forever Rain” is any indication, perfectly capture and augment the mood. “Forever Rain” has a bittersweet and cathartic beauty with a sound that lies between Slowdive circa Pygmalion and introspective Cocteau Twins via Aikea Guinea, and their collaboration with Harold Budd, The Moon and the Melodies. Welcome to the world of Aadilor, where lords and ladies can be murderers and thieves, and the most alluring notes are often the deadliest.NYC painter and ambient industrialist Tor Lundvallreturns with the spellbinding new song “Forever Rain” from his forthcoming 14th studio album, Beautiful Illusions, out this December via Dais Records.

Larkyra Bassette may be the youngest of the Mousai, but when she sings her voice has the power to slay monsters.
There, the mysterious Thief King reigns supreme with the help of the Mousai, a trio of revered and feared sorceresses. Many whisper of its existence, but few have found this place, where magic and pleasure abound. The Thief Kingdom is a place hidden within the world of Aadlior.
