Newcastle’s Smote—helmed by Daniel Foggin—returns with Genog, a transportive blend of drone, folk, and arcane psychedelia. Drawing from Nordic psych, Irish folk, and fantasy atmospheres, the album’s five tracks conjure a mystical journey through flute-led ritualism, cryptic rhythms, and noise-laden climaxes. A hypnotic, otherworldly vision steeped in repetition and transcendence.
