‘Lecho de Piedra’ (‘Deadbed Stone’) is the new long play by Àrnica. The iberians are back with an Ur-Folk offering full of harsh-folk tunes (‘Valle de Lobos’), nature chants (‘Monte Nublado-Cima’, ‘Trazos de Sangre’) and warrior poetry (‘Monte Nublado-Ladera’, ‘Las Plumas del Cuervo’). Dealing with the concept of die over the stone, in a mountain or within the forest. To die outside among the nature.
Guitar, flutes, accordion, mouth harp, a lot of diferents drums, gralla, catalonian bagpipe, stones, bones, antlers, ratchets, cowbells, field recordings and a couple of samplers were used for the creation of this new piece. Created as a spiral block the offering reveals a journey through old values and feelings. A very special collaboration in ‘Una Bestia Astada’ track: Jay Kokopeli (Traum’er Leben) joined us with his wild breath.
