If You Like… You’ll Love The Heartwood Institute

If you like…

The Radiophonic Workshop, CSO, illustrations of ravens, The Keep soundtrack, podcasts about murders, The Daemons, stone circles, double VHS packs (even though the content would have fitted on a single VHS tape), looking up at pylons, character actors, reading old grave stones, yellowed paperbacks, the unexplained, The Unseen, “stay off the moors at night”, plague masks, underground tunnels with the incessant drip-drip-drip of water, DVD boxsets of Hammer Horror, “Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound”, the wind howling through a dry stone wall, wondering what they keep in the east wing…

…You’ll love The Heartwood Institute.

The Heartwood Institute is Jonathon Sharp who has released a prodigious amount of hauntology music, the most recent being the sensational Witchcraft Murders, based on two infamous unsolved murders connected to the supernatural. You can find it, and the whole back catalogue here:
