The Narcotic Trinket is the latest full length ambient-abstract
release from Kathartes (John Harford). It is a trip through
a crack in the corner of a room - to realms reminiscient of
HP Lovecraft, Michael Moorcock, The Amityville murders and
Luis Brunel. It is perhaps the most musically complete and
complex of all of the ambient albums. A soundtrack to a waking
(?) nightmare.
Kathartes is for
now on hiatus. Though elements of the ambient music creep
into the rest of John's video and music.
Released in 2008.
Reminiscient of
industrial music, horror movie ambience, and black magic.
