Summons Of Shining Ruins - Yellow Ghost 1

Review by Tristan Bellamy

Yellow Ghost 1 by Summons Of Shining Ruins is a mesmerizing album that showcases the unique talents of the Japanese musician, Shinobu Nemoto. The album is a beautiful blend of ambient, drone, and folk music, with each track taking the listener on a journey through different soundscapes.

The album opens with "Yellow Ghost", a haunting track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The use of field recordings and subtle instrumentation creates an ethereal atmosphere that is both calming and eerie. The following tracks, "The Sun That Never Sets" and "The Sea of Trees", continue this dreamlike quality, with lush textures and gentle melodies that evoke a sense of introspection and contemplation.

As the album progresses, the tracks become more experimental, with "The Whispering Woods" featuring distorted guitar and feedback, and "The Shrine of the Black Cat" incorporating a more traditional Japanese sound with the use of a koto. The final track, "The Light That Shines Within", brings the album to a beautiful conclusion, with a gentle piano melody that leaves the listener feeling peaceful and content.
