After watching Folk Noir (the played a few tracks from L.E.A.F.) during the Trolls et Légendes festival in 2013 I noticed that Thomas Biesmeijer has his own occupations (besides L.E.A.F.). One of them is the mysterious Cesair. I was able to see Cesair during the next Trolls et Légendes edition (2015) and was offered this new version of their brilliant debut album.
How to describe the music I got is not simple, but I guess this can make it: the lovely female voice (Monique van Deursen), lots of medieval and ancient music and lyrical influences (resulting in a great sound) and the fact that they really did a great job in the studio! I also love the artwork of the album, it's very inspiring! They used great instruments like a bodhran, zills, accordeon, a hammered dulcimer, a hurdy-gurdy, violins, viola, Jewish harp, Irish bouzouki, djembé… The old stories and mysteries are perfectly incorporated into the music.
