Stories of Kingley Vale tell of the Kings’ Graves or Devil’s Humps as the tombs of Viking leaders buried in 894, with the yews marking the battlefield site, stained red with the blood of dead warriors.

Here's the cover art for our upcoming #Halloween Dream EP, out October 22nd, created from his own photograph by Jon (the one that does the music). I think it captures the essence of the EP pretty damn well. 🖤

This agriculture album then. It was already making me feel human emotions then, as I stepped out of home bargains into the rain, ‘Serenity’ kicked in and there was a perfect rainbow over Aldi. 🎃
