Music has been a major part of this blog from the outset and so the only real question to be asked is why has it taken so long to put together an official Ancient Abandon playlist? Truth be told, I'm not really sure, but that time is now. On December 1st you'll be able to… Continue reading Introducing the Ancient Abandon Playlists
Reflecting on the song "Illusion" by Citizens (aka Citizens & Saints).
