In the parallel universe next door, where an alternate Wener Herzog chooses to make a sequel to “Aguirre, The Wrath Of God”, Ga’an are the artists he selects to make the soundtrack, no other artist would come close.

The Popol Vuh comparisons are for once not simply the result of the mindless music blogger shorthand of self-referential delusion, its simply the fact that no other artist in the four decades since Florian Frike fused the moog and the mellotron together and let the songs of Metatron flow through have come closer than Ga’an to this sonic plane of immanence

It is perhaps fitting for a band that hails from Chicago that the words used by the city’s long time film critic Roger Ebert to describe the soundtrack of “Aguirre, The Wrath Of God” have a strange resonance with the Ga’an:

“The music sets the tone. It is haunting, ecclesiastical, human and yet something else”.

It is precisely that “something else”, the gnostic revelation that “we are in this world, but not of it”, Ga’ans music is the melancholy of the future casting its shadow back into the present and the soundtrack for our journey back to a distant star called home.

So looking forward to hearing the whole album on the 18th
