Musk Ox

Musk Ox, a Canadian neofolk and neoclassical group founded by Nathanael Larochette in Ottawa, Ontario, crafts a rich tapestry of sounds characterized by its intricate chamber compositions and serene acoustic narratives. The project's roots can be traced back to 2005, and since its inception, Musk Ox has steadily carved out a distinctive place in the realms of folk and classical music with an evocative blend of strings and ambient storytelling.

The evocative journey of Musk Ox is encapsulated within their albums, each serving as a testament to their growth and artistic vision. "Inheritance" (2021) is their latest offering, a contemplative work that explores themes of legacy and loss, seamlessly weaving melancholic melodies with uplifting arrangements. This release follows the critically acclaimed "Woodfall" (2014), a full-length album that was a masterclass in pastoral soundscapes and emotive intensity. Prior to that, Musk Ox showcased their signature sound in the self-titled "Musk Ox" (2007) and continued to resonate with audiences through the delicate expression found in "The Face of Patience" EP. Through these releases, which include "Memoriam," a standalone piece, Musk Ox continues to establish themselves as purveyors of a unique and truly immersive musical experience, attracting fans of folk, classical, and instrumental music alike.
