This album is hauntingly beautiful. I have always loved the tune ‘Caislean Or’ (I probably butchered that spelling) by Clannad. Mausoleum takes all that I loved in that song and cranks it to ten.
This album has wonderful affinities with Connie Dover, Loreena McKennitt, and other ‘world folk’ artists that I enjoy, but it captures its own unique place in that constellation.
