Middle Pillar presents the debut album by Mirabilis, Pleiades. Mirabilis is the neo-classical/ethereal musical project started by Dru Allen of This Ascension and Summer Bowman of The Machine In The Garden. Using vocals as the primary instrumentation, Mirabilis craft original musical compositions as well as interpreting traditional classical vocal pieces from a number of different periods. The music is melodic and rich and borrows from the classical, ethereal, darkwave and gothic genres. This artistic joining led to the 17-track creation Pleiades, which blends together the beautiful voices of Summer and Dru as well as guest vocalists Regeana Morris from The Changelings, Katy Belle and Rebecca Colleen Miller. The album opens and closes with a ghostly choir evoking the two sisters on the album cover, and from there evenly explores the different aspects of the heavenly milieu. Pleiades is a triumph of artistic vision by Bowman and Allen and sets a standard for neo-classical albums to come. Mirabilis have an exclusive remix on Middle Pillar's Eclectica 2 compilation and have released a limited self-titled 7-inch through Fossil Dungeon.
