"Rayne Kristine--Transient"

Rayne Kristine had busy weeks with her new EP “Transient”, the 5-track project showcases each with its own unique identity and style, Rayne Kristine did a wonderful job at spreading his sound out. It’s been awhile since we’ve covered an instrumental on Lost In The Nordics but its for good reason. For us, its really challenging to dig through hundreds of releases and find something that creatively speaks volume without some sort of imagery from the vocalist. With instrumentals, its extremely hard because it has to tell a story in order to keep the listeners interested, but that’s exactly what Rayne Kristine did with ‘Transient’.

Some of our favorites? Well, it’s hard to choose but ‘Fernweh’ grabbed our attention almost immediately. We’re excited to share this EP with you and we’re confident you’ll love it just as much as we do. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think and don’t forget to connect with Rayne Kristine online to stay up to date! - Lost in the Nordics


"MEDITATE IN THE MOODILY COLD SYNAESTHESIA OF RAYNE KRISTINE’S AMBIENT NEOCLASSIC SCORE, THE FADED CURTAINS REMIND ME OF HOME"

Taken from her EP, Transient, Rayne Kristine’s ambiently neoclassic single, The Faded Curtains Remind Me of Home, is an arresting extension of her commitment to creating moody tracks for lost souls.

The minimalist instrumental score pours lush reverb over the neoclassic progressions to envelop you in an atmosphere that epitomises sonic catharsis. The meditative layers stand as a testament to the Celtic harpist, pianist and music producer’s tenacity in spilling synaesthesia with her cold yet meditatively tranquil soundscapes, which capture the harsh facets of life and convey the gravity we feel to whatever will abstract us from the brutality of them.

Rayne Kristine has been recording music since 2006, influenced by the music of Loreena McKennitt. During her time as an artist, she’s worked on electronic and metal projects to sculpt her intrinsically authentic artistic vision. - A&R Factory
