Ancient Paeons to Worlds Lost

Alethes - Aletheia
There's not much information on this Washington state duo's debut album on Glass Throat Recordings besides that 1) they're from Washington state and 2) instrumentation is simply acoustic guitar, strings and percussion (not drums, but percussion - it literally sounds like beating on logs). Rather than rehash what other reviews have stated, I'll simply listed a series of moods and feelings evoked by the album and end with a witty similie.
Earthy
Ethereal
Disturbing
Ancient
Beautiful
Hypnotic
Engaging
Rhythmic
Haunting
Sacred
Evil
Makes Steve Von Till sound like John Denver
