This is Ritual Dark Ambient / Drone collective Nam-Khar's follow-up full-length to 2018's "Secret Essence / Sangwa Dupa". The music has evolved... "Sur Chöd" is composed of 6 long-form pieces, each piece transforming and morphing in to a musical entity within its own right. The traditional percussive elements are still there in the music, deployed in full force alongside more subtle uses of these instruments. It is the use of the drone and bass elements that have changed.

The small vacuous pockets which Nam-Khar use so well are soon filled with warm, thick drones, synthesised sweeps and enlightening cosmic sounds. It once again creates that space for the listener to move into for contemplation and reflection, to energise and focus through the welcome isolation space created by Nam-Khar's atmospherics. Pushing the inner-traveller ever further onwards, along different trodden paths.

Ritual ambient, dark ambient, drone, industrial and subtle tinges of dark-jazz await the listener on this deep and diverse release from Nam-Khar. Ltd x 300 copies in a 6-panel matt-laminate digipak.
