Style: Ambient, Downtempo, Electronic

Eluerd records under his own name and with his musical project nimp. together they have formed the prayer tree, and their first self titled album is now seeing the light of day. with this project, the prayer tree typify the gift of silence and recovery in eight songs of sheer beauty and slight melancholy. redemption is a prevalent theme - through a journey/physical way (tokyo, silent stones), through technology (ubik), through experiencing a book (new york) or in a religious sense (all those who just couldnt make it, the golden hour). most of the songs refer to a
moment, a fragment of time where your life has changed and/or you take the decision to change it for the better. these are pictures of thoughts, contemplation of yourself and of your surrounding. as a whole, the album is the musical equivalent of
the enjoyment of these moments while having a taste of true happiness (at least for a little while). with this release the prayer tree present an album of quiet, introspection but also an album of strong and inventive songs. eluerd's poetic lyrics are set to a brilliant variety of subtle, colourful arrangements while acoustic and electronic instruments interact perfectly with a mellow voice. one can simply bathe in the lush sensuality of the instruments and compositions. give it a listen, you will not regret it.
