about


Stillness as we collide
Mounting a retreat
A pale shelter offered
Only to divide

Mourning shadows we perish
A failing of will
Alone in a moment
Who do you cherish

Soon holding on, the solemn embrace
Like a whisper unheard
No solace no grace

Yet today is all we have
In silence she speaks
The rivers below
Valleys and peaks

As a pale shelter once cherished
The shadows we mourn
Have all but perished

◾️◾️◾️ REVIEWS

"A Pale Shelter is the kind of record that stops you dead in your tracks without actually really doing very much to create a sonic blockade. It ebbs and flows, glides and meanders through constant refrains, slowly pulling you deeper into thickly textured, minimal waves of ambient, chimes twinkling somewhere in a distant background, echoes of melody creating centerpieces to the arrangements.

It's a classic example of what makes Past Inside the Present's output so mesmerizing and beguiling. It's in the quietest, most serene moments that we feel the greatest power in the music. At times, it's the aural equivalent of watching the shadows of a fire dance on stone walls. Elsewhere, it's more like gazing out over endless beauty. Ultimately, this is exactly why they say less is more."

-Juno Records (UK)

_________________________________


‘A Pale Shelter’ by zakè, City of Dawn, Ossa is a beautiful and occasionally sinister album. The title track, and ‘A Solace Awaits Us’ which both feature Benoît Pioulard, are the most gorgeous, gossamer ambient music, breathy and sparkling. ‘Mourning Shadows Will Shall Perish’ and ‘A Failing Of Will’ have much more foreboding, droning tones. Excellent stuff. "

-Norman Records (UK)
