Ian Arkley, noted for his incredible work with the likes of
Seventh Angel,
Ashen Mortality,
Guillotine Dream and of course the magnificent
My Silent Wake, recently released his second solo album,
Two, through
Opa Loka Records. A remarkable album, Two is imbued with a rich, soft magic, reaching into the forgotten past, drinking deeply from the beauty of the natural world and peering through the mists of folkloric tradition. Arkley has now released an immersive video to accompany the track ‘
Chrysalis‘, one of Two’s many highlights.

The beautiful artwork and photography were all created by Arkley himself, with the layout being designed by Michael Shaffer, who also mastered both Two and its predecessor, One. This is an album to be sought out, grasped and held close to the heart; a treasure whose gleam will never fade.
