The Wyrd Kalendar Album - July Artist - Concretism

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 July is the darkly chilling Concretism who has created a track based on the month of July and the story "Grotto Day". Concretism creates fascinating and haunting work that explores a half-remembered 1970's landscape of Nuclear Power stations and Rabies Warnings. It is a beautiful and disturbing world that is well worth getting lost in.

His most recent album is "For Concrete and Country". Released by Castles in Space this work is astonishing and deeply evocative of the grey brutalism of an imagined apocalypse.

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

Spectral Fields - Mix 2

The Kalendar Host has been reading.

He has found himself lost in “A Year in the Country - Wandering Through Spectral Fields” by Stephen Prince. This incredible work has inspired a new journey out of the Kalendar Heath and across these Spectral Fields to discover music, ideas, stories, folk horror jaunts, hauntological treats and nostalgic terror.

This is the second of four mixes dedicated to this new book. This mix explores chapters 14-26 through music, sound and key extracts, acting as an accompaniment or, if you will allow, an aural appendix.
