:Of The Wand And The Moon: is the neofolk brainchild of Danish musician Kim Larsen, which emerged from the shadows of the post-industrial music scene in the late 1990s. The project has garnered a devoted following thanks to its unique blend of dark folk music and melancholic, yet profound lyrical content, deeply steeped in various philosophical and esoteric traditions. The music of :Of The Wand And The Moon: is characterized by an intimate acoustic aesthetic, adorned with touches of dark ambiance and occasional martial rhythms, creating an atmosphere that is at once haunting and deeply emotive.
Since its inception, Larsen's vessel has sailed through dark, reflective waters, producing a catalog of work that is as heartfelt as it is spectral. Albums like "The Lone Descent" and "Sonnenheim" have solidified :Of The Wand And The Moon:'s standing within the neofolk genre, lauded for their poetic introspection and the honest exploration of themes such as love, loss, and longing. While singles like "Shine Black Algiz / Hold My Hand" and "It's Like Dying on Christmas Day" showcase the project's ability to convey more concentrated emotional experiences. With performances at venues like the Roskilde Festival in 2012, :Of The Wand And The Moon: continues to connect with audiences, offering a sonic journey that transcends the mere act of listening, inviting a deeper, almost spiritual contemplation.
