4 Star Review from Shindig Magazine for Wyrd Kalendar Book and Album


 We are very pleased to share the 4 star review from Shindig Magazine for the Wyrd Kalendar Book and Album.
They said:
"The etching-like pen-and-ink illustrations by Paciorek, the founder of the Folk Horror Revival project and its Wyrd Harvest Press publishing offshoot, perfectly capture the uncanny imagery of the tales, as do the 12 tracks on the accompanying CD..."
"...this package represents a thriving literary and musical counter-culture."
Keep it Wyrd!

Nickanan Night will coming knocking soon...


Nickanan Night is a musical mix  from the Wyrd Kalendar celebrating all things Shrove. 
From the Bacon Butties of Collop Monday, to the Ginger Knocking traditions associated with Nickanan Night and the over consumption of pancakes – this promises to be a filling treat.

Wander the Spectral Fields - Mix 3 - Chapters 27-39

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 third of four mixes dedicated to this new book. This mix explores chapters 27-39 through music, sound and key extracts, acting as an accompaniment or, if you will allow, an aural appendix.

 Buy the book here.
