Elyria is Faith and the Muse’s first album. You might remember Faith and the Muse from their previous appearance on the Music Project, Annwyn, Beneath the Waves. Influences of Dead Can Dance and Ordo Equituum Solis can be heard.
Had I been twenty years younger I’d have probably really enjoyed this album. It’s the kind of sound I was looking for when I was in my twenties and looking for something more etherial and mysterious to fill a spiritual hole in my life. Sadly, I’m not in my forties and listening to this album while sitting in a corner on a massive bean bag sniffing joss sticks is not entirely practical.
