From Old Mill:
"Corn dollies are among the oldest staples of European folk craft. Fashioned during the annual harvest, these dolls were made as vessels for the displaced spirits of the harvested crops. @afskyofficial’a latest album Ofte jeg drømmer mig død (I often dream myself dead) deals deeply with the concept of death; a soul leaving the body. I felt that these dollies would be a thematically fitting addition.
In addition to the standard and deluxe editions, five “definitive” editions of the album will be made available. These will include all the items of both the standard and deluxe editions along with one of these corn dollies. There will be five copies. These dollies were hand-made by the immensely talented @birchbonescraft. Certainly this will not be our last collaboration.
More details concerning the tape will be made available as we draw closer to its release.
