Natural Snow Buildings

Natural Snow Buildings are an experimental psych-folk duo from France, consisting of Mehdi Ameziane and Solange Gularte. Their music incorporates lengthy raga-influenced drones created by layers of heavily distorted guitars, acoustic instruments (particularly woodwind and percussion), and chanted vocals, resulting in an intoxicating, often overwhelming mass of hypnotic sound. Through cassettes and handcrafted CD-Rs, NSB developed a cult following among the psych-folk underground. Later releases for a series of independent labels included the ambitious sets The Snowbringer Cult (2008), Kingdom (2009), and Night Coercion into the Company of Witches (2012), as well as Terror's Horns (2015), their most concise, focused album to date. ~ Paul Simpson
