"The heart of the wise in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth." Ecclesiastes 7:4
"House of Mourning," the most recent release by Angel Machine, can be considered a concept album, based on the theme of the title, with lyrics, vocals, and keyboards creating a heavy mood.
Angel Machine consists of Wayde and Apryll Seraph. This project begins with "Prelude: the House of Mourning," consisting of spoken word backed up with the electronic keyboards, and concludes with the radio edit of "Sea of Glass" (a longer version is the 3rd cut).
At the halfway mark of 2026, this is my favorite album of the year. It definitely is thought provking and has memorable songs. My favorites are "Sea of Glass" and "Belief Divides." The instrumentals (title track, winter song) are both excellent as well.
