Description/Reviews: 

The music is definitely in the vein of Anathema, specifically the “Weather Systems” album.  However, Daniel utilizes folk music, mainly Irish, to add new textures and tones to that elevated and beautiful sound.  There are also more guitar solos, like in older Anathema material, and the music never really reaches a fevered pitch: This album is meant to be a tranquil, emotional journey with lots of ambient moments and picturesque melodies.  So, instead of the huge climaxes of Anathema’s music, Daniel mainly explores the more serene moments in brilliant fashion.  It creates an album that is peaceful, introspective, and full of wonder.

Description/Reviews: 

Graceful and atmospheric, The Passage is the unique result of a collaboration between Anathema's Daniel Cavanagh and writer Joseph Geraci (the voice on Internal Landscapes from Anathema's celebrated 2012 release, Weather Systems).
Mainly comprising ethereal textural and evocative piano backdrops to readings of Geraci's work (by Geraci, Cavanagh and Heather Leah Huddleston), the album also contains two new songs by Cavanagh. Within (Part 2) and Brief are also based on the words of Geraci and in their heartfelt and emotive delivery, the songs act as an ideal coda to the more tender moments on Anathema's recent albums.
Presented as a 17 part continuous suite of textures, poetry and songs, The Passage is a seductive and unpretentious marriage of spoken word and music that highlights the growing sophistication in Daniel Cavanagh's compositional capabilities.
