Wonderful book! We were lucky enough to work with Will on getting a section of it on the sleeve of our Mirrored Daughters side project album (a very tangentially Epping Forest-related thing): fikarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/mirror...

Inside sleeve of the Mirrored Daughters LP featuring an extract from Strange Labyrinth, plus the book next to it.

Really enjoying this new @audioobscura.bsky.social album. The word has had all meaning Boomkat-ed out of it, but it is genuinely hypnagogic in its flow. Beautiful artwork, too.

I took a photo inside mine as I wanted to see what the problem with the jack was. It’s massive! Some prime property development potential there. I might start leasing out land to the MOD.

Dreamed there was a Stereolab album called Basslines that was just Stereolab basslines (I might actually get around to making the music for it, eventually).
