about

A sexy, supernatural dreamscape from the ancient world. Evocative bass playing with imaginative use of effects. Wraith-like vocals and great production.

Falaena use percussion and heavily-effected bass guitar to create a vast supernatural soundscape. Beautiful vocals and imaginative production techniques add to the dream-like atmosphere.

Lyrics depict Brutus' interdimensional experience on the mysterious island of Leogecia: part of the epic story of the founding of Britain. The concept was inspired by Geoffrey of Monmouth's recording of ancient history in 'The History of the Kings of Britain', and by L.A. Waddell's book, 'The Phoenician Origin of Britons Scots and Anglo-Saxons'.

This is the first single from the new album by Falaena

lyrics

Phoenician Dream

Two days and a night by sea,
To find the land, Leogecia.
Wasted desolate city,
No living soul to bar the way.

Dusk on the abandoned island,
Setting forth unto a nameless temple,
There to find,
Find her shrine,
Strangest dreams.

Gods bequeathed to you the sea,
To find at last, your destined seat.
Calm upon deserted shores,
The quiet woods and empty halls.

The Goddess shall appear before him,
Answers given to the dreamer waking,
Fate decrees,
The Western sea,
To call your own.
