Inspired by the short stories of writer Lafcadio Hearn, Alone in the Woods' music on Kwaidan is much like the author's writings, in that the musicians pull inspiration from worldwide sources. The result is something akin to a crucible, wherein the myriad influences of the creators combine, resulting in something brightly new, yet robust with the strength of its elemental parts.
