Occultation Recordings are proud to announce the new Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus album, Songs of Yearning. There is also a limited edition second album entitled Nocturnes on both LP and CD. Orders are now open and shipping roughly once a week.

Songs of Yearning is the fourth RAIJ album and perhaps their most coherent single body of work to date. An enticing combination of eastern religious sounds and iconography, acoustic and electric instrumentation, and lilting, meditative vocals, it features pieces in no fewer than six different languages: Greek, French, English, Latin, a Finnish dialect of Swedish, and Russian.
