Drew McDowall - AgalmaVeteran NYC based Scottish electronic musician Drew McDowall's latest work is his loftiest, most liturgical, and least industrial outing to date and potentially the apex of his recent discography. Named after an ancient Greek word for votive offering, Agalma exudes a hooded, devotional aura, creaking and keeling under vast rafters of stone, stained glass, and shredded wires.

Veteran NYC based Scottish electronic musician Drew McDowall's latest work is his loftiest, most liturgical, and least industrial outing to date - and potentially the apex of his recent discography. Named after an ancient Greek word for votive offering, Agalma exudes a hooded, devotional aura, creaking and keeling under vast rafters of stone, stained glass, and shredded wires. It's a music of majesty and mystery but also modernity, McDowall's refined modular system shape-shifting strings, piano, pipe organ, and choral masses into disorienting synthetic mirages of the sacred. He cites the intersection of "joy, terror, and the elegiac" as a centering inspiration - or, phrased more bluntly, "that 'what the fuck is going on' feeling." As a career collaborator himself, with stints in Coil, Psychic TV, and countless other shorter-lived partnerships, it's telling that McDowall chose this project to gather such an impressive spectrum of peers. Italian synthesist Caterina Barbieri, American drone organist Kali Malone, prolific multi-instrumentalist Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, operatic Humanbeast vocalist Maralie Armstrong-Rial, Saudi producer MSYLMA, and warped futurist beat-makers Bashar Suleiman and Elvin Brandhi cameo across the album's 42 minutes, contouring McDowall's nuanced negative spaces with shudders, shadows, and shivering flickers of serenity. Each of them shines in their spotlight, elevating these elusive alchemical states into surreal revelations of texture and transcendence. McDowall's original working title for the record is revealing: Ritual Music. He speaks of his creative practice in ceremonial terms, negating binaries by seeking the middle path to a numinous equilibrium that erases the distinction between the inner and outer worlds. These compositions feel similarly processional and intuitive, at the crossroads of holiness and hallucination, the sacred vertigo of yawning naves rising into untouchable night skies. It's a vision of industrial music as enigma and invocation, cryptic hymnals of shrouded beauty summoned in catacombs and crumbling cathedrals. Despite it's depths, Agalma is also an album of immediacy and emotion. Celestial laments of and for times of unrest and suffering. McDowall characterizes his initial intention for this music as an to attempt to convey experiences he felt incapable of putting into words: "To try and approach sublimity, or at least acknowledge it in some way." Agalma more than acknowledges the ineffable - it embodies it.

Nice consistency not oily works well.
Scent: Unscented
I don’t wanna let the secret out of the bag, but this is some great stuff. I’ve used it on my face which I was concerned because I have combination skin. I am in my early 60s and my face felt dry saggy and rough. My skin is softer now seems smoother. A Very small amount I use my hydrating spray and spread around my face, I am careful around my chin and nose I tend to be a bit oily but this even seems to help neutralize that. It’s also wonderful on hands cuticles and décolleté.

Great For Dry Hair!
Scent: Unscented
This cream is AMAZING! Yes, it's great for skin and I love it but man it is AMAZING in my HAIR! I put a small amount on my fingers and get them wet with water then spread it through my hair, especially the dead ends....and this cream overnight did magic on my hair! A week later, not even using it every night and I have ZERO split ends! Like I didn't ever believe that split ends could be repaired! And it only takes a little bit!

Highly recommend
Scent: Unscented
I bought 3 different whipped tallow creams, and this is by far my favorite. It is fast absorbing not greasy at all. I am a cashier and handle a ton of cardboard daily, so my hands dry out fast. This has been a lifesaver for my hands! Will buy more and I highly recommend this product!
