The Wyrd Kalendar Album - February Artist - Keith Seatman

Last year we prepared for the publication of the book Wyrd Kalendar...

This year we are making ready an album of  the same name...

This new album will contain 13 tracks - 12 of which will be related to the stories from the book and the month of the year. The album will be released by the very groovy Mega  Dodo (who released Songs from the Black Meadow in 2016). All profits from the album will go to charity.

The artists have been given a month each, a copy of the linked story and Andy Paciorek's picture to give them a starting point and away they go!

We are very proud to reveal that the artist for February is the incredible Keith Seatman with a track called "Three Day Girl" based on the story "February 31st". We worked with Keith Seatman  on Songs from the Black Meadow in 2016 in which he created the incredible "Playing Hop the Scotch". Keith is currently working on a new EP called "Disjointed Oddities and Other Such Things" which will be out this spring.

More information about the album and our other monthly artists will be released throughout 2018...

In the meantime enjoy the current album from Keith Seatman entitled "All Hold Hands and Off we go". Once you have listened to that check out "A Rest Before the Walk" which I reviewed a few years ago.Revel in the beautiful aural strangeness that is Keith Seatman...

Parentalia - Visit your long deceased ancestor today!

Today is the day to visit old Great Auntie Margery at her ancient walk in tomb.

Remember to take wine, flowers and milk as it is a well known fact that ghosts love them. However they also take great umbrage if you decide to get married today or if you worship at the local temple. There is nothing worse than a grumpy ghost so we at Wyrd Kalendar have created a poster for you to remember these important rules so that you can commune with the dead without fear of retribution.

If you are having trouble getting hold of Wine, Flowers and Milk you could try WINOWILK!

Developed by Parentalia Labs, this contains all the Wine, Flowers and Milk and ghost would needs and will guarantee you are safe from any hauntings by angry ancestral spectres!*

*Hauntings by angry ancestral spectres may still occur.

February is here...

It is February.

Open the Wyrd Kalendar and venture into a cold world with a young woman who experiences the days of February that the rest of us miss.

It is a lonely month but you will have company from The Unthanks, Eels, The Incredible String Band, Colosseum, Jesus Jones, King Creosote, Chungking and others who muse on the month and its many frosty wonders.

Wyrd Kalendar is a Folk Horror Revival project that includes a folk horror mix inspired by each month, a book of short stories and illustrations (published in 2017) which you can buy here... and an accompanying album to follow later this year.
