PILORI are back! Many years ago, the charismatic band from Seligenstadt, Germany established themselves across genres with their unique ethereal style of folk and cast a spell over gothic, neo-classical and neofolk audiences alike. With ‘Until The Day Dawn’, PILORI present the high point of their career so far. A complex work, steeped in dense atmospheres, catchy melodies, ritualistic rhythms and above all the beautiful female vocals which have always placed the band in a league of their own. On ‘Until The Day Dawn’, the acoustic elements are balanced out with some emphasis on electronic sounds and indeed poppy passages without ever being untrue to their own style. An ascent into the spheres of dreams, deliberately clouded by the frequencies of a world in decline. Ethereal, sacral romanticism meets dark nihilism. With elegiac viola melodies and sorrowful male vocals, one is reminded of the glory years of CURRENT 93. With clear-as-glass ethereal vocals, singer Marion reminds one of the bygone era of heavenly voices. But PILORI create their own world from nature mysticism and a sceptical questioning of the world around them. With ‘Until The Day Dawn’, PILORI present the sum total of their career, performed with multilingual lyrics in German, English, French and Hebrew and with melancholy guitar chords, lamentful strings, well-dispensed percussion and seductive keyboard melodies. From melancholy neofolk (‘The Icononclast’) to neo-classical (‘Fallen Angels Chois’), ritual music (‘Last Wolf’s Howling’) up to 1980s new wave music (‘Love’s Labour Lost’) innumerable influences can be found here. ‘Until The Day Dawn’ finally proves PILORI’s unique status in the German alternative music scene. Released on Trisol and available January 25th, 2009.
