Are you one of those that wondered whatevered
happened to The Protagonist? After the much
acclaimed debut A Rebours from 1998, fans of
meticulously crafted music at the intersection
where dark ambient meets neo-classical have waited
in vain for a new album. However, this shouldn't be
mistaken for seven years of idleness on the part of
Magnus Sundstr÷m. Rather the focus shifted to his
other musical endeavour, the evil twin des
Esseintes, as well as the launching of his own
imprint, the much productive Fin de SiÞcle Media
label. But after this summer's strong comeback, the
Interim EP, the time has finally come for a new
album. Just like A Rebours, the title Songs of
Experience betrays the literary impact on the
music. And just like the poems of William Blake,
these compositions strive to forge a perfect
marriage between romanticism and darkness, with
most emphasis on the latter this time around. Of
the eight tracks, some are reworked versions of
rare compilation tracks and some are completely
new. Taken together they show the steady evolution
of The Protagonist in the 21st century, of an
artist that treasure an impeccable end-product over
fast turnarounds and proliferation.
