Moonflowers (CD Album) – Swallow the Sun

At 52-minutes, ‘Moonflowers’ is an eight-song affair that drives deep into the heart of Swallow The Sun main songwriter Juha Raivio’s disconsolate soul. From the dramatic ‘Enemy’ and the grim ‘This House Has No Home’ to the delicate ‘Moonflowers Bloom in Misery’ and the beauteous ‘The Fight of Your Life,’ ‘Moonflowers’ is as rewarding and dynamic as it is accomplished and intimate. That it features Cammie Gilbert (Oceans of Slumber), Antti Hyyrynen (Stam1na), and Trio NOX – who perform a re-arranged classical version of ‘Moonflowers’ in a Finnish church.
