In The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow, answers lie in the soil of the town of Bewlay.
When ‘barrow-digger’ Thomasina Bateman arrives in the remote town of Bewlay, nothing seems to go her way. The locals are peculiar and unwelcoming, her contact has vanished, and even her tools are missing. But these mundane setbacks pale in comparison to the supernatural horrors that soon close in as she sets out to excavate the mysterious local legend Hob’s Barrow…
Tasked with crafting soundscapes for the Cloak and Dagger Games developed folk horror game, composer The Machine. The Demon. crafted a series of tracks covering the story’s many moods and locales. Ominous, dangerous, bizarre, but always utterly immersive; the soundtrack transports you back into the folk tale with the drop of a needle.
Now, Stumpy Frog Records & Lost In Cult Records have collaborated to put these tunes to wax. With art by Plastiboo and a stunning ‘framed art’ design, the soundtrack will be pressed to wax in a limited to 500 copies variant, and sold jointly through Stumpy Frog Records and Lost In Cult Records.
