Your boy DEAR_SPIRIT is about to leave for a little over a week of touring with my band Rohit, so I'm gonna hit y'all with something special that should take a while to burn through. It's a phenomenal 4-disc compilation of songs by various darkwave, neoclassical, neofolk, and otherwise industrial-adjacent artists, each of which is meant to represent a different herb. What's that? Yes, marijuana is included -- Lotus Eaters are given the honor. Other artists include the rest of the above-linked, as well as Amber Asylum, RAIN, Troum, and a whole bunch more. Full track listing here. You're welcome.

Apoptose - Nordland (2000)


German dark ambient. Massive synths, ominous percussion, and many other otherworldly sounds make for a dramatic, unsettling listen.

Track listing:
1. Unter Bewusstsein
2. Abschied von der Sonne
3. Nordlicht
4. Nidstång
5. Horizont
6. Sturmnacht
7. Erntewôd

In praise of hopelessness
