Sultan - The Moon.

13 Oct 2010 — Henning Lahmann

Brooklyn haunted folk experimentalist Kayla Cohen aka Sultan has a new cassette tape release via our dearest friends over at The Curatorial Club. Actually, The Moon isn't that new, as Cohen had already finished the slowly enchanting gems in March and given them out to friends. In any case, though recorded in springtime, this is perfect autumn music, splendidly capturing the magic of falling leaves and a golden, mild October sun. Below, listen to one of the tape's sweeping and expansive tracks, Sun Setting, Slow Walk, which serves as a gentle introduction into Sultan's beautiful music that is all about entrancing excursions into the darker shades of folk. You can listen The Moon in full over at Cohen's bandcamp. Also, you shouldn't miss There Goes My Girl, which is not part of the cassette but of Blackburn Recordings' wonderful and recommended Various Deficiencies Vol. 1, available for free over here.
