ADVENT by Erwilian
ADVENT (2019), is the dawn of Seattle-based Erwilian’s next chapter; an acoustic leap forward into new sounds, compositions, textures, and arrangements.
ADVENT debuted at #1 on the Billboard New Age Albums chart, its soaring violin, recorder, and hammered dulcimer melodies honoring the band’s folk music origins but wholly pushing the boundaries of what is possible within Erwilian’s signature acoustic instrumental framework.
Aptly titled ADVENT, the 27-minute EP consists of six songs, each celebrating a different facet of the band’s signature orchestrations. Melodies are led by violin, soprano recorder, and hammered dulcimer, featuring harp, celesta, guitar, harmonium, and many others.
Available worldwide in physical and digital formats, as well as a special deluxe pressing with laser-cut artwork. ADVENT (Deluxe) showcases Erwilian’s complete vision for ADVENT: a marriage of the senses in sound, print, and illustration with intricate laser-cuttings and original artworks by illustrator Anastasia Masterskih.
