Poseidonis (2021)
https://yuggothrecords.bandcamp.com/album/poseidonis
Debut album by French dungeon synth band Arcanist. Heavily influenced by the American Weird Fiction movement of the early 20th Century, the band explores the Poseidonis (Atlantis) Cycle of Californian fantasy poet, writer and artist Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961).
=
Musically, Arcanist draws primarily from the Berlin School of Electronic Music (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze etc…), but also weaves in other electronic artists like Vangelis, early Mortiis and Jim Kirkwood.
=
Medieval and Renaissance aesthetics also come into play, along with some darker and more experimental elements. Truly a sonic journey into the wondrous worlds of the Emperor of Dreams himself.
