Austin Lunn's passionate exploration of the coal miners’ struggles against exploitation is masterfully intertwined with bluegrass melodies, creating a unique narrative of resistance and reverence for the state’s rich heritage. “Kentucky” is an essential listen for anyone drawn to music with depth and historical significance. The 2024 "Kentucky" CD re-issue comes in a gatefold digisleeve, complete with a 16-page booklet that includes reworked and extended art. A thoughtful update to the original, ideal for both longtime fans and newcomers.

Panopticon: The Scars of Man on the Once Namele [CD]

Panopticon’s "...on the Subject of Mortality" is a poignant exploration of grief, written in the aftermath of the loss of one of Austin Lunn's parents. Originally released in 2009 and remixed in 2016, it delves into the emotional depths of human existence, processing death, and the fleeting nature of life. With atmospheric black metal and post-rock influences, the album reflects Lunn's personal journey through loss, deeply inspired by the existential themes of The Seventh Seal. This LP version comes on a limited coloured vinyl (electric blue) with an insert containing liner notes and lyrics.
