"This is what it sounds like, if you put a tape-recorder in a haunted house and turn the gain to max..."
Hithansen from Horsens, Denmark Review
"Some would call this 'ghost folk'.
And while this may be folk music (in only the most traditional sense),
and while the passages of its strummed chords and distant echoes may
resemble those produced by the passing sorrows of lost souls, I
honestly believe that the music that a punch of pacifist's Joshua
Schmelke creates defies any sort of categorisation, as do most of
Domovoi's artists. He crafts barren soundscapes with nothing more than
an acoustic guitar, his voice, and perhaps the occasional accompaniment
of the odd other instrument, and yet, you can almost feel as if you are
there, walking with him through Alberta's snow capped fields."
