Overview:
After the critically acclaimed 2020 album "Love & Ashes", Blood and Sun return with "Ochre and the collected EPs": a compilation of both old and new material. 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.

Quote From Artist About Album:
These songs mark new workings and collaborations in the pursuit of joy and purpose against isolation and serfdom peppered with a dose of existential dread. "Ochre" was conceived in rural New England and executed at various home studios across the United States during the years of lockdowns and unrest. I am excited to show you its lush sounds as instrumentations and arrangements have widened and the approach to each song presented here varied.
I am also honoured to be able to share - for the first time in analogue format - "The Confession" from the "Communion of the Saints" compilation alongside our previous EPs.
