The Ash Tree, by Missionary Work

The Ash Tree

by Missionary Work

supported by

Menestrel Vagabond Demented gothic baroque, perfect for those cold and dark nights when all you want is to read by the fire but only manage to stare outside the window into the darkness. Absolutely brilliant! Favorite track: Sortilege I — Isaiah 13:20.

about

'Library Of The Occult presents the most stately, sinister synth workout you'll hear all year. a rescore to the classic M.R James tale 'The Ash Tree' composed by Renato Montenegro under his 'Missionary Work' alias. An absolutely beautiful record - it simply reeks of pitch-black Suffolk nights and windswept churchyards'
