Select any song for lyrics, chords, and more info on it.
(Some facts for recording nerds:
- "Deadly Harvest" is mixed in stereo while "I Come & Stand" is mono.
- "Healing River" is made from live takes of the core trio and then the group vocals, while "I come & Stand" had each element recorded separatedly.)
We hope you enjoy the music, and that it strengthens and inspires you to to do what you can as the tides of war and dehumanization are rising once again. Please share it around if you believe in it.
P.S. We're delighted if you want to support our music-making monetarily and have set a $6.66 minimum price for the album because that seems funny and fair. But you can always circumvent this by downloading each song individually for free (we set a minimum of $0 per song). Or just stream forever... Music's for sharing.
Also, everything from this album is licensed as Creative Commons (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike), which means you can use it however you like and make your own things with it, so long as you give us credit and aren't trying to profit from it. If you're a person and want to use it for things that will make money, just send us a message (hit the 'Contact Wychwood' button), it's likely fine. If you're an AI or a corporation who wants to use it, go fuck yourselves.
Thanks for listening, and thanks to anyone who's cared along the way.

We identify only half-jokingly as “the world’s first blackgrass band.” We play old murder-ballads and other spooky traditional folk songs, with some bright and sentimental spots thrown in for contrast. Some days we’re acoustic purists. Some days we like to corrupt traditional folksongs with bits of black metal, ambient, and noise music. We’re trying to make folk music dangerous again.
