Candle Ea†er - Rareities

Candle Ea†er is an alias of one Dylan K., producer and designer from the Canadian London in Ontario. After 10-year hibernation of his witch-house persona, he made a comeback earlier this year with the reissue of two 2010-era tracks in the form of Love▼Less [Demo]. Earlier this week he dropped a compilation titled "Rareities", which serves as an appetizer to his new album "||Nekrosophik||". The five-track collection features two unreleased recordings (ominous witch composition "Violent Moon", dating back to 2011 and a mix of thumping bass and vampyric organ in the shape of "Last Light" from 2013) as well as slowly revealing itself "Night Walks", which was originally featured on the "Castledrum Companions" compilation in 2012. Additionally we get two bonus tracks from the Phantasma Disques album "||Nocturne||". Overall it's a solid introduction package to the sonic universe of Candle Ea†er, and a great taste of the Canadian witch-house scene, which has always been very much in the shadow of the US one.

You can download "Rareities" for free here, and stream it after the jump.
