Basir's Tongue from Singles 2020 by Thousand Yard Prayer
100bpm. This track uses middle eastern, medieval and ancient northern European instruments, playing a middle eastern maqam (scale/mode) in a music that is uniquely ours. Unusually for us, there are no synthesisers or drum kits in this track. We've been listening to some Scandinavian Viking folk and ritual music. We like the sounds.
As for the title...it's a very obscure literary reference and you'll need to be very familiar with a very old but awesome fantasy novel to know what it refers to.
