By The Spirits are a solo project from Poland that plays neo-folk and this is a review of their 2019 compilation album "Visions" which will be released in August by Eisenwald.
Acoustic guitar playing which also uses a great amount of full chords starts off the album and they also bring elements of folk music onto the recording. Vocals are mostly done in a very clean and melodic neo- folk style while atmospheric sounding synths can also be heard in the background.
At times the music evokes an atmosphere from pre-Christian era Poland along with all of the tracks sounding very different from each other while using mostly an acoustic guitar and vocals and as the compilation progresses a touch of ambient can also be heard, one track also brings female vocals into the music and there is also a cover of Coil's "Fire Of The Mind".
By The Spirits plays a musical style that is mostly rooted in neo-folk while also bringing in more of a pagan orientated atmosphere, The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover ancient magick, the spirituality within, the duality beyond life and death and telling stories about the connections between man and nature.
In my opinion By The Spirits is a very great sounding neo-folk solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "My Sun" "Holy Mother" "Serpent's Light" and "Fields". 8 out of 10.
