Lodge Of Research are a solo project from Vermont that plays a very dark and bizarre form of neo-folk and this is a review of his self released 2019 album "Fellowcraft".
Folk music orientated synths start off the album and also bring in a variety of many different sounding keys along with some clean vocals also being used quite a bit throughout the recording. Grim sounding black metal s creams can also be heard briefly and programmed beats are also added into some parts of the music.
At times the music also captures the fantasy of a fantasy video game along with some casio style keyboard also being added into some part of the music. A couple of the tacks are very long and epic in length as well as one track also introducing psychedelic elements and whispered vocals onto the recording and all of the songs sound very different from each other.
Lodge Of Research plays a style of neo-folk that is more synth orientated than most bands and artists of this genre while also adding in a touch of black metal to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover Fraternal Societies, Witchcraft and Occultism themes.
In my opinion Lodege Of Research are a very great sounding bizarre neo-folk solo project and if you are looking for something that is very original sounding, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Rite of The Forest" and "...In The Witches Temple". 8 out of 10.
