Yawning Druid Genuine and unique music from John Jacob. These releases flip the term "dungeon synth" on its head and force us to re-evaluate the values of the genre.

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. sjöhäxan
