Magick For Cherishings is different, sort of. The third part of this trilogy is most time instrumentally composed, sometimes there is no music at all, and only lives from the vocal expressiveness by JARBOE. Her singing appears even more like magic incantations as in the in- and outro, a possible reason why all 10 tracks don’t have titles.
Also song two only lives from its singing, well it’s not singing, more layered vocal tones, again in an intensive and disturbing way only JARBOE is able to. When half of the song passed by saturninely wafting sound fragments flow in, adding a schizophrenic note to the atmosphere. All that is just the prelude to the following track, the highlight on Magick For Cherishings. Wickedly distorted guitars and oppressive tribal drumming rule this song. Again the listener will be hypnotized, moves as in trance, caught and captivated in unfathomable ceremonies. You will feel the heat on your skin while fear and desire likewise wash around you. Just unbelievable!
Afterwards it’s getting freaky. A downright cheerful sounding guitar song forms a twisted and crazy contrast that acts alien-like and misplaced. I felt fooled, trying to elude these tunes. And so it goes with track 5, in a normal way sung, but in French. Here I have reached limit of comprehensibleness.
I am thankful for the mystical sounds (re)setting in after this trip into madness, although piercing shrieks and snore (???) give proof that madness didn’t loose entirely yet.

As for me I have to say that Magick For Cherishings is the weakest part so far of this trilogy.
Although having recorded these EP’s in a studio I find the sound partly unbalanced and some songs overamplified. It all sounds much like a demo/underground production. It might be intentional to amplify moods on these records.
As already mentioned, JARBOE is a brimming creative soul, who has released a couple of new stuff in the meantime. It’s said that she already works on new sequels and I’m much looking forward how this series will turn out in the future ;)
