The White Nights trilogy sees The Use Of Ashes return to their roots as a psychedelic folk ensemble, while daringly continuing their forays into the realms of sound art and remixes. It is an eccentric and gloomy body of work, combining tender melodic pieces in a 60s psychedelic-pop-style with ghostly drones as well as surreal collages and placing a growing importance on the band's talents as intuitive songsmiths. Following up on 2008's The Hand Of Tzafkiël and Glowing Lights (2009), which both had a distinct inner world approach, Flake Of Eternity is most of all a reflection on the first two entries of the trilogy and the events spawned by them, which eventually culminated in a return to the concert stage for the formation after a ten year hiatus. Taking the approach of their live shows as a point of departure, The Use Of Ashes entered the St. Temple studios with an outer world state of mind and saw the story through to its blissful conclusion.
