• ELLI RIEHL - 'Die Kornmuhme' LP SWAMP GREEN

"Die Kornmuhme" is the slightly revised and extended vinyl version of material presented on a CD split release in 2020 (with Mjøðr Ylgjar). The title is a reference to the Roggenmuhme of old Germanic folklore; a kind of cornfield demon, which could make the fields barren if not properly honoured... but through proper sacrifice could be entreated to provide a bountiful harvest.

Steeped in both folklore and old legends, the music of Elli Riehl is at times eerie and ominous, at times mysterious, but also curiously playful, ranging from oddly disjointed, with psychedelic electric guitar and tribalistic percussion, to dark nature ambience, woodland industrial, slowed down animal noises and gnome ritualism.

Die Kornmuhme evokes mental images of folklore and legend; before your minds eye, you can see pastoral fields and vast green seas of forests amidst rolling hills, and hear the weird processions and rites of all the woodland creatures of myth. The horns of the forest folk call to weird rituals in the middle of the endless forest, and mythical creatures become just as tangible as your fellow man.

Contains two brand new and exclusive tracks. Ltd x 100 hand-numbered copies on swamp green vinyl. Sold out from the label!
