Some of the richest music is also the hardest to categorise. With their fifth full-length "Acou", Moon Far Away embark on a musical exploration of the magical nature of sound. The band from the sub-arctic city of Arkhangelsk in Russia's north is studying the mythological cycle of the universe by assigning certain sounds and musical styles that range from the archaic and folklore to liturgical, classical, and even experimental music to each stage of it's existence. Moon Far Away were inspired by the finding that the world begins and ends in many ancient legends with a sound - from the utterance of a word to actual music or even the big bang of science. On "Acou", which means 'listen!' in Greek, the word (lógos) and music (mousike) are as fundamental to the fabric of the universe as the classical elements of earth, fire, water, and air. Moon Far Away have occasionally been referred to as "the heart of Russian gothic folk" or "The Russian Dead Can Dance", which are notions that still ring true regarding "Acou". Their music appears to be both light and even dreamy on the surface, yet at the same time it comes with a dignity, gravitas and passionate seriousness that set these songs apart from simple pop; despite sounding captivating and melodic. With "Acou", Moon Far Away present their richest and most complete album so far that will find old and new friends from a wide range of stylistic preferences that certainly include fans of DEAD CAN DANCE, ALCEST, WARDRUNA, and many others - although the unique band from Russia's North does sound different from all of those mentioned above. There is only one way to find out: "Acou"! Listen!
