Bewitching new solo LP from Solange Gularte aka one half of French acid folk experimentalists Natural Snow Buildings. Night Of Raining Fire comes adorned with Solange’s weird post-Darger cartoon artwork that serves to underlines the overall “Lost Girls” atmosphere. The sonics are beautiful, somewhere between Hosianna Mantra-era Popol Vuh, the sunbleached acid folk of Linda Perhacs and the haunted European exploitation soundtracks of the late Jean Rollin, with an impossibly ancient and otherworldly atmosphere. Plus the album really *sounds* great, with lush raga/drones hovering over distant blurs of reverb and singing up-front strings while Solange’s vocals melt all over them. Gorgeous. Edition of 500 copies.

“Brand new full length CD album from Natural Snow Buildings, made especially for Record Store Day. Following on from January 2011's Waves of the Random Sea, this is the most recent recordings from the duo of Mehdi and Solange, recorded over the first three months of 2011. Epicly dark and brooding folk blurred with psychedelic and ritualistic overtones, this album sounds as good as any other Natural Snow Buildings/Twinsistermoon/Isengrind release, retaining the sound that only this duo can conjure up. Opener 'Chants of Niflheim Part 1' is a dark reflection upon the concept of its title, followed by 'Templars Ritual', a psychedelic meandering 17 minutes of ritual head nodding zone outs. 'Chants of Niflheim Part 2' builds ethereal levitation to new forms, from dark to light, blurring heavy riffs with almost vocal instrument sounds to create a mist of unknown. Album closer, 'H. Scudder', opens with Mehdi's softly sung lyrics layered with percussion and string, heading straight into a deep ritualistic swirling drone section. 'Cants of Niflheim' again concretes Natural Snow Buildings as an essential contemporary duo, crossing the lines of folk drone experimentalism, traditional folk craftsmanship and post rock aesthetic. Again, another essential record from this French duo. Released for Record Store Day, April 16th 2011, with thanks to supporters across the globe from Blackest Rainbow and Natural Snow Buildings. Limited to 500 copies in full colour 4 panel card sleeves.” – BRR.
