LOVE & ASHES
BLOOD & SUN PARTNERS WITH NORDVISI am pleased to announce that after two years of work on the album which has become "Love and Ashes,"
I am partnering with Nordvis for its release. Nordvis has come highly recommended from my close friends and fans of Andreas' curatorial vision, which encapsulates the contemplative spirits of snow covered forests and psychotropic visions of the Aurora Borealis. I am excited to bring Blood and Sun's second album, "Love and Ashes," to you as the fruits of this new partnership.
"Love and Ashes" offers nine new songs written over the past six years, recorded within a myriad of geographies: from under the shadows of Manhattan's skyscrapers, to Studio Gare du Nord in the Green Mountains, to a shack in the Emerald Triangle of Northern California, to the expansive midwestern plains, to the starry deserts of central Mexico.
It is a travelogue of ruminations: offering blessings of restoration to kindred spirits but a pointed curse to any bairn who attempts to grasp it.
—L. R. T.

CAIN'S ORCHARD
URVOT-056 7” E.P. WITH DIGITAL DOWNLOAD NOW AVAILABLECain’s Orchard was written and recorded between December 2014-October 2016 .
This E.P. signals a growth in contemplative song writing and a palpable shift in lyrical
environments, producing at once a highly reflective and intensely symbolic
journey in dark folk. The E.P. was tracked slowly and realized in several apartments
across Brooklyn, New York and home studios in rural Wisconsin.
Cain’s Orchard marks the final bridge between Blood and Sun’s debut album
White Storms Fall and their second full length record with the working title
Love and Ashes currently being recorded for a 2019 release.
This latest Blood and Sun E.P. is now offered as a 45 rpm 7 inch record pressed in 70 gram
Oxblood virgin vinyl complete with digital download cards.
The record is presented in a Gatefold sleeve, on heavy stock carton,
with foil blocked text and UV spot varnished elements.
No detail was overlooked in its presentation.
Limited to 500 ‘standard edition’ items in addition to an ultra limited edition box set of
10 Black Test Press Vinyls in a hand decorated wooden box now long sold out.
Cain’s orchard is now available for purchase through the following distributors:
Tesco Germany

ALL DIGITAL PROCEEDS TO BE DONATED TO WATER PROTECTORS
All proceeds from digital music sales from bloodandsun.bandcamp.com go to Standing Rock until January 1st 2017. Huge news on their recent victory but not time to let up on support. If I wasn't chasing rent in new York I'd be joining brothers and sisters there.
