Alloch Nathir has used their debut album as an exercise in mystical worldbuilding, a canvas upon which to paint the titular domain. Unfolding as a journey across these mysterious woodlands, The Emerald Grotto ambles through a mélange of captivating sounds over its path: Romantic melodicism; the beautiful escapism of forest synth; traditionally-brewed dungeon synth; the moody timbres of classic ambient; and the lo-fi basement fantasy experiments of HDK releases. The painstaking attention to the details of these varied sounds, and the cohesion of their narrative presentation, ensure the Emerald Grotto is a realm worthy of repeated exploration.
