The difficult fourth album made slightly easier by having @garetherees.bsky.social providing all the good bits. Available from Elastic Stage.

My pile of shame finally reached Marshland by @garetherees.bsky.social last night and, before I knew it, I was 150 pages in. Beautiful writing and interesting, after reading all his other books, to go back to where it all started.

"These are the first shoots of a future folklore emerging from an urban Britain that might look soulless and secular but under the surface remains very strange indeed, rippled with weird undercurrents." @garetherees.bsky.social

This is great stuff!
