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.

In Gowan Ring - Love Charms (1994)

I have a terrible, terrible hangover. Wanna hear about it? No? OK, well, I've thrown up three times so far -- once last night, twice this morning -- and my head feels like it's been injected with cement. I'm laying in bed with a cat and a big glass of water at which I'm tentatively sipping, and I'm listening to the spectral, psychedelic folk music of In Gowan Ring, hoping that it staves off my desire to run to the bathroom for some dry heaves then smash my head open with a big hammer. Have a good day you guys!!!
