Phragments are a solo project from Slovakia that plays a dark from of ambient with some orchestra and drone elements and this is a review of his self released 2020 album "Anthems Of Solitude" which will be released on December 20th.
Atmospheric sounding drones start off the album along with some ambient style synths a few seconds later. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with one of the synths also introducing orchestra elements onto the recording and most of the music is also instrumental.
At times the music also captures a very cinematic sounding atmosphere while field recordings can also be heard briefly. The music also has its apocalyptic moments along with all of the songs sounding very different from each other and as the album progresses the synths also start utilizing a variety of many different sounding keys.
Phragments plays a musical style that is rooted mostly in dark ambient as well as adding in some drones, orchestra sounds and field recordings to create a sound of his own as well as keeping everything instrumental while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion Phragments are a very great sounding dark ambient solo project with some orchestra and drone touches and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hollow" and "An Ode To Our Times". 8 out of 10.
