Animabilis #[nn]

A solitary figure walks through a bare, wintry forest beneath a brooding twilight sky, a single dark bird cutting through the cold air above — Thierry Murat's cover image for *Animabilis* is quietly haunting in the best possible way. Published by Futuropolis in 2018, this atmospheric album announces itself with remarkable restraint, letting shadow, snow, and stark branches do the storytelling before you've even opened the cover.
