i want out now
(for fear of this place)
i don't know how
(or if i knew that it would happen)
comfort has kept it's hold
time is running out
get me out
now
its not the stars that i gaze upon,
but the endless darkness beyond
tears rain down my shoulder
your sorrow becomes my own
if we could ever find the answers
could that ever bring us home?
obscured by longing
further we fade
exhausting our hope for either one of us
to be saved
save your tears
so many times i tried
to find the right words
i’m not going to find
i don’t care anymore
why should i deny
only what i know?
this seems to be
the only way
to go

“Winds blow and waves gently crash against a structure in the center of the sea. One by one and patiently placed; each note, a beautiful brick carefully crafted from compartmentalized pain, builds the monument to open wounds that is “Ache Pillars”. Folian’s gorgeous melodies run their fingers across old scars, while softly whispering in your ears that more heartbreak is undeniably inevitable.” - Dylan Garrett Smith (fine-artist/printmaker)
"...dense and hypnotic mix of ambient drone sounds and a dreamy, shoegaze sensibility. It’s at once ominous and very pretty, distant yet warm. It makes perfect sense that Fylstra cites Unwound as one of their influences, as there’s a melodic approach to the song that feels like something off of that band’s final opus, Leaves Turn Inside You." - Treblezine
“Folian dabbles between dissonance and sonic beauty in equal measures.” - Heavy Blog Is Heavy
“This is drone/shoegaze that taps into your favorite underground projects of the 90s but is nothing but current and stunningly beautiful in its darkness.” - Cvlt Nation
"Completely detached from stable ground and floating through fogs of at times naturally chaotic inspiration, this music works on a deep level, remarkably enough. Sound-wise, the parameters of what he’s captured spread all over the place, but emotionally — the effect is clear. This music delivers a fog, and then pierces through it before spreading out again, giving the listener a chance at contemplation. Time flies while engaged in this work — while challenging, Ache Pillars proves immensely rewarding via its dynamics." - Captured Howls
“Surging washes of color embrace the harmonics, brimming, dripping, and finally engulfing the tune in thick black, galvanizing tones, as if armies of dead souls are escaping Purgatory.” - Rawckus Magazine
“...the hazy, disorienting quality of these four tracks play like a blissful, if vaguely disturbing, dream.” - Doomed & Stoned
“"Ache Pillars" will make the inner strings of those who make a contemplative use of music vibrate, of those who do not understand it as the ultimate goal of the auditory experience, but who use it rather as a tool for reflection and painful inner analysis.” - Metal.IT

The album is currently my album of the year and I highly, highly recommend digging in if you like dense, genre-bending shoegaze/metal/screamo/sound art. Folian
