While composing his first solo album in almost half a decade, Roly Porter apparently drew inspiration from Neolithic burial sites, though musically "Kistvaen" sounds more like it was partly influenced by early music and in particular medieval religious laments. Either way, the resulting music is melancholic and magical, joining the dots between atmospheric neo-classical movements, clandestine dark ambient electronics, experimental sound design and unsettling drone tones. It's a musical mixture that's gripping, poignant and otherworldly in equal measure, with Porter's extensive use of distinctively old-fashioned (and more than a little ecclesiastical) vocals only adding to the album's obvious allure.
