Release Notes:
Encomiast came into being around 1999 and has released five full-length
collections on various labels beginning w/ the self-titled self-released
excursion in 1999, winter's end on Lens Records in 2001, espera on Mystery Sea
and [laurentide] on Absolute Zero Media in 2005. The latest releases are havens,
released by CrucialBlast in late October 2006, and a split with Sagramon on
Swamp of Pus. In addition, the project has been featured on about a dozen
compilations, been involved in film music, and performed live in a
semi-consistent manner. As indicated by the "members" section, the lineup is
fairly malleable, as are the sound sources, encompassing everything from analog
synths, to field recordings, to old rock demos.
Upcoming releases include: A reissue/remaster of the 1999 self-titled encomiast
album on Lens Records this fall, bathed in sunlight, an album of songs and
instrumental pieces treading a path between ambient, neo-folk, and post-rock
music, and masked mirrors, a full-length album based entirely on incidental
recordings from the allegedly quite haunted Belvidere Theatre in Central City,
Colorado.
