Brooklyn-based darkwave act ERAAS have created a distinct identity with the audio and visual tone of their self-titled debut album, released late last year on Felte. The new video for album track ' Crescent ' explores the band's macabre aesthetic further, reflecting the song's dark, brooding atmosphere and Fever Ray undertones. Watch the creepy, slow-moving animated video for ' Crescent ', as directed by Nick Criscuolo : ERAAS - a quartet led by its two founding members Robert [...]

"Black House" leads off Brooklyn band Eraas ' self-titled album with an under two-minute instrumental of sustained textures. The track starts out mysteriously pensive, but ultimately transforms to a more dark and foreboding mood. This unsettling feeling is a theme that runs throughout Eraas' entire repertoire. Vocals are delivered in hushed cadences. The rise and ebb of percussive pulses and sustained sound washes create tension and anticipation. The band just left Brooklyn for an extensive North American tour with French like-minded electro-goth veterans Trust. Dave Cromwell asked them a few questions before their departure here [...]

One of the more chastening aspects of getting older is watching the creeping advent of cultural conservatism laying its clammy hands on your generational contemporaries. We warned against the dangers of such conservatism and its attendant revivalism earlier this week in lambasting Foxygen's new album, and it's kinda terrifying to start to hear people say things like, "Oh, all the good albums were made in the '90s." If you're also hearing similar things, we humbly suggest that you introduce your friends to the bands after the jump, bands whose sounds recall various '90s acts while managing to avoid sounding [...]

A ghost avenges its murder in the new ERAAS video. Brooklyn-based quartet ERAAS , led by core members Robert Toher and Austin Stawiarz , have released a creepy new video for the song, "Ghost".

"Ghost" by Eraas : "Ghost" is taken from Eraas' self-titled debut, you can stream the entire album over at Bandcamp .
The electronic duo ERAAS conjure some charismatically bleak séance-core electronic music throughout their self-titled debut. You can verify this by streaming their 2012 LP , or by watching the video for one of its standouts, "Ghost," which is all smoke, and a pagan-looking drum line, and not-so-happy-ending for the guy dressed in business casual. Fun Fact: The Guy Dressed In Business Casual is in fact ERAAS's label boss Jeff Owens, the proprietor of felte. Records, and his not-so-happy-ending involves a really long knife. Directed by MAJOR JASS . Enjoy! Read More...
Después de que "At Heart" desfilara dentro de mi conteo de los 150 tracks de 2012, me parece que ya deben de tener perfectamente ubicada esta maravilla de Eraas , la cual forma parte de su debut homónimo que poco a poco ha estado recibiendo la atención que se merece, con todo y que en un inicio había estado pasando un poco desapercibido. Pero bueno, por fortuna el día de hoy ya han dado a conocer el vídeo oficial para "Ghost", así que si ustedes son de las personas que aún no han checado nada de lo que [...]
However you define atmospheric music, the albums on this list make a powerfully impressionistic impression. Just don't expect to find warmth or love in them. Here, in no particular order are several bands that released some great atmospheric music in 2012. I don't know what genre they are, though I try my best to mention some applicable subgenres, the fingerprints of which can be felt on the recordings, to help clarify things. Only one of these albums was greatly hyped, and only one received a lot of attention once it was released (with real people and not critics, I [...]
