The Miskatonic Sessions, Volume II

Late-Night Sessions from the Cthulhu Era

The Miskatonic Sessions, Volume II cover

A second volume of Lovecraftian and weird fiction big band swing. Darker rooms, later hours.

A second night in the same ballroom, later and darker. The first volume kept to the edges of the Mythos. This one walks in. R'lyeh rises on the downbeat, Innsmouth gets a number of its own, the Great Race looks back at us across deep time, and a pallid mask is handed around the floor like a party favour. Between the Lovecraft there is Machen, Blackwood, Hodgson, and a Depression-era dance marathon that outlasts everyone in the room. Recorded, so the Archive maintains, in the small hours of the Cthulhu era, when the bands that knew the most played the least carefully. Twelve sides. Keep one eye on the door.
