Ravenwell This album is so dreamy, so spacey, so... unknown. It's like music played by a ghost from another world. Totally dig it. Favorite track: Spider Like.

rikm "Bloom Flowers, Bloom!" is a high point of the 90s Darkwave scene, a stunning album that perfectly blends haunting vocals and lushly textured music with intricate song structures and complex patterns to create a fully immersive listening experience.

This 2020 remaster brings an additional clarity and detail to the work that further draws the listener into the beautiful and surreal world of Trance to the Sun, adding a new layer of discovery to this truly essential release...

dying when you get hit by a... lying in your own shit and dying when you get hit by a car lying in your own shit and crying because your clothes don’t fit anymore dying for your death is only a lion he comes and shreds you up all he wants is a life of own and he’s willing to take away yours for his death is more important than your own life... velvet gift of the lion sniffs the lovely flower of your blood and is never daunted by his rush that he gets when you are... dying when you get eaten by a ferocious lion all he wants is a little life and blood and death and is oh so alone and eats you whole and is so alone... lying in your own shit and crying because your clothes don’t fit anymore dying when you get hit by a car staying where you are lying in your own shit... you’re part of his tale now and his tale will be told somehow you’re part of his tail now and his tale will be told without doubt, don’t tell no one dionyn... ... fills you up with the lovely sound, that of death that bites on the jugular and never lets go until you’ve lived with life and death of the new kind lived with life and death of the new kind lying in your own shit dying crying because your clothes don’t fit anymore dying when you get hit by a car staying where you are someone to sacrifice to dionyn... and it’s such a shame to be seen again in another... coffin... oh dionyn come on and slide on in

Yellow Hair 08:00
i heard someone say my veins are coursing in vain, only your mother is the one to suckle, no cow, their milk has shaken the change out of me, near to the spot of the unsuckled baby, windy howl christmas morning, for cave babies with tousled yellow hair, it soaks a dry aged hand... yawning life giving quilted doe, no one’s veins course in vain... you love her forever you always have, you need her, you want her, she’s far away, but only today

Rex 07:09
me and you in a hovercraft on our way to the edge of the measured mass, we are blood and dark light, come with us we’re going to bed, with ribs sticking out like a little starving dog . . . to the end of the measured mass, we are blood and dark light, come with us we’re going to bed, forever soft and delicious red, red as if blood was all over... little dog, just like a little starving dog... doesn’t it hurt when you realize the magnitude of what you’ve severed, what’s been lost and never will be found again

Press Quotes:
"Incredible, provocative music with female vocals. This band recently toured with LYCIA and the CD is definitely something to listen to! - Morbid Outlook (NYC)

"These compositions are so dark and brooding and full that the soundwaves create a sinister brightness" - Permission Magazine (USA)

"Beautiful elegant dementia is the best way to describe "Bloom Flowers, Bloom!" Ashkelon provides lovely, dark instrumentation that will open the portholes of the soul." - NIGHT MAGAZINE (Atlanta)

"Trance To The Sun leads a fascinating journey... with frightening, black colors." - Subline Magazine (Germany)

"Her voice rips my heart apart" - Fringe Fuck (Los Angeles)
