Rumors and Ramblings by the Hearth Fire
from Returns to Roost by Hole Dweller
lyrics
A month had gone by since the disappearance. The Floating Log Inn was ablaze with stories and rumors of what had happened to Jamwine Hamfiddle, a nightly customer here at the pub.
“Old fool of a Hamfiddle fell in the swamp, chasin’ after a wheel of cheese”, one patron loudly gossipped, slamming his mug to the table.
Nearly everyone had their own tale to tell, each more ridiculous than the prior.
If there was one person in the bar that evening that had heard them all it was Mr. Loamsdown, the owner of the Inn. Jamwine and Mr. Loamsdown had been childhood friends and Jamwine was a loyal patron - although a bit dozy perhaps. Now he was tired of the ramblings. “Ok that’s quite enough all of you!” Loamsdown’s gravelly voice burst through the clamoring. “If I hear one more bit of tittle-tattle regarding the business of Mr. Hamfiddle you’ll be out on yer ass, that goes for the lot of ya!”.
The crowd murmured among themselves, and as the night was growing late the last few customers stumbled out the creaking front door

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature.

I love this album and could return to it daily. Evoking Earthsea so effortlessly is a gift.

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose.

One of my favorite dungeon synth albums, and I had only heard it a few days ago for the first time. Perfect for drifting off to sleep, but also for driving under the canopy of trees. It is very soft, and pleasant, yet vast at times. The ambient forest sounds are extremely soothing. A wonderful work of art that feels as refreshing as diving into the deeps of a natural, cold spring in the eves of summer.
