Golau Glau is an anonymous collective of artists, photographers and musicians. A lot of their interest in in cultural history. Who else but a cultural historian would have uncovered an Icelandic myth about a "Yule Cat" and who else but anonymous musicians would then write an original song about it? With purring, no less.
Musically, the Golau Glau collective tends toward experimental electronica, with the occasional synth driven poppish New Age number (on this outing, that would be "Oak Moon"). Golau Gau's 2010 Christmas EP, with the terrific title "Myrrh and Myth", is also available as a free Bandcamp download. And the Bonus Track on that collection, is Golau Glau's 2009 holiday single "Foolstide" about the Puritans banning of Christmas, which actually occurred both in England and in the New World (particularly New England). "Myrrh and Myth" was quite popular with Christmas collectors last year, so consider downloading "The Masque of Burma". Do it for the Yule Cat.
