sjöhäxan A pocket-sized adventure that contains a stunning amount of magic and sweetness. I love when an album can replicate a child-like wonder to the extent it takes me back to times of exploration and curiosity, where discovering a forest shrine was met with such sweet melodies. Favorite track: Today We Go To The Forest.

brothermichael This tape makes me feel like I’m going to spend all my time deep in Viridian Forest looking for bug Pokémon just to stumble upon some ancient faerie ruins that my 10 year old self is simply underprepared for…. Favorite track: Chew This For Courage As The Trees Grow Thicker.

six10 Very enchanting, brings immediate chills whenever I press play. Lovely LIVE dungeon synth! Surprised this isn't considered a seminal piece of the genre! Constantly find myself humming that opening tune. Favorite track: Today We Go To The Forest.

chaucerianmyth Crude, raw, and unbelievably charming. It is this kind of Dungeon Synth that keeps the genre truly magical. Favorite track: Feel That Chill? The Moonmoss is Near!.
