Pantaleimon is the solo project of Andria Degens, who is not only known from her own music, but also for being the companion of Current 93's David Tibet, and a collaborator with that band. This 7" single contains an alternative version of the track "Under the Water", which will appear on her upcoming album.

"Under the Water" is a rather dark song, with a contemplative, sad melody played on bouzouki. This accompanies Andria's frail voice, singing about what lies hidden under the water. Treasure, light... This track, though simple, is very good, and it promises much good for the upcoming album.

There's also a reason why there's only one track on this 7". This is the first in a special series by BlueSanct, consisting of 7" singles with an art print on the B-side. "Under the Water" has a stylised sun drawing by Andria herself, who also drew the picture for the front cover. Combined with the clear vinyl, this makes the 7" very attractive, but the downside is of course that it's rather short in terms of listening pleasure.

Nevertheless, this release isn't expensive, and definitely worth it for fans of Pantaleimon or Current 93, and dark folk lovers.
