Black Sea Dahu - White Creatures (2018)

White Creatures is the debut full-length album by the Swiss collective Black Sea Dahu, led by Janine Cathrein. The record is rooted in the urban folk genre, characterized by a thick, orchestral sound blended with the raw emotionality of the vocals. The album was recorded at the Ocean Sound Recordings studio on the island of Giske, Norway, a location that significantly influenced the release's atmosphere: the musicians aimed to capture the sense of isolation and proximity to rugged nature. The material was recorded live on tape to convey the honesty of the performance and preserve the imperfections of a live sound. Lyrically, the album explores themes of escapism and internal struggles, where the titular "white creatures" serve as a metaphor for the feelings or inner demons faced by the lyrical protagonist.
