Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Harmonium-driven fantasy drone folk of the highest order, loaded with the longing and whimsy and underlying bloody horrorshow of good ol’ Blighty. Greet’s uncanny wheezing and ecstatic crescondos pair with Ancient Hostility’s rousing anarcho ballads in a pitch perfect eve FFO: Lankum, Daisy Rickman, Hawthonn, Shovel Dance."
