Bio:
Musk Ox is a one-man project focused on combining lush acoustics with expansive arrangements, and delicate textures, a forlorn journey through natural realms where darkness and light, substance and void, sorrow and joy, exist as a single entity. Musk Ox has quickly established himself as one of the brightest prospects in the Neofolk genre, thanks to his keen ability to capture and convey the essence of Canada's vast, magnificent landscapes through sound.
