After the critically acclaimed 2020 album “Love & Ashes”, Blood and Sun return with “Ochre (& the collected EPs)”: a new EP complete with bonus tracks. Available on relevant formats as of March 31, 2023.
Written by Luke Tromiczak and performed by a rotating group of musicians from across the United States, Blood and Sun are known for dark and haunting songs drawing heavily from Americana and neo-folk – likely to appeal to fans of everything from Of the Wand and the Moon and Steve Von Til to Wovenhand and Echo & The Bunnymen.
The A-side consists of the “Ochre” EP – four new tracks recorded in rural America between 2020 and 2022. It was produced, mixed, and mastered by legendary American producer Bob Ferbrache. “The collected EPs” on side B include “The Confession”, previously available only on Brave Mysteries’ digital sampler “Communion of Saints”, as well as two sold-out releases: the 2016 split with Brittsommar and the “Cain's Orchard” EP from 2018.
Includes unlimited streaming of Ochre
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Music that has nothing to prove which has not already proved and nothing to expect when there is nothing to be expected and that is so liberating :) nakilep
It is different than previous releases, nonetheless it is astonishing and beautiful homage to nature. One reproach, like both previous albums this one too flown by so quickly. Do yourself a favor and listen to this music in forest you like to visit. Hedensk Hjerte
Very calm, soothing, yet strong and evocative melodies. Great introduction into the world of Forndom and a true, even if a bit short, escape from the world of men. Anders Kvistr
