LIBRARY OF THE OCCULT

The Empress

Fortune Telle - 2026 Repress

Library of the Occult presents The Empress the collaboration between Paul Elliot (Pleasurewood) and Paul Osborne (Project Gemini).

Turn the card and follow your destiny into a dreamscape of vintage magic. .Fortune Teller. is a deck stacked with analogue glamour and midnight omens where fuzz and mysticism collide. But who is the mysterious Empress? Some say she’s a soothsayer of sound whose grooves are eternal. Others say she’s a front for instrumental masterminds.

Paul Osborne of Project Gemini and Paul Elliott of Pleasurewood, paying homage to library labels like Sonoton, MP 2000 and CAM. No matter the truth, this is an album that foretells what’s yet to come via electronic sorcery, acid invocations, and some hot hot synths.

Bradley Thomas Turner

Haunted House Party

One part surf rock, one part retro film score, one part sound effects record: This is Bradley Thomas Turner’s recipe for a perfect Halloween party soundtrack.

'Haunted House Party' plays like a walking tour through the All Hallow’s Eve soiree of your dreams (or is it nightmares?). This record will make you feel like you’re in an episode of Scooby-Doo, but this time … the monsters are real.

The Sound Effects Department of the Bradley Thomas Turner Studio has been collecting and studying spooky sounds for several decades. Some years ago, Bradley Thomas Turner himself was contacted by the representative for a “wealthy patron of the arts” who commissioned the composer to create music for a highly exclusive Halloween party (in exchange for a handsome sum, of course).

Little is known about the events that followed as the composer has refused to comment on the situation, although many observers have noted an unmistakable look of outright fear in the composer’s eyes when the topic is broached. What follows is alleged to be the only surviving evidence of the aforementioned party—an illegally obtained audio recording captured by an uninvited nogoodnik who attended the event surreptitiously.

Following a handful of limited singles, The Operator Sound INC. is back with a full debut.

Hawksmoor

Yclept Thorn

Hawksmoor returns to Library of the Occult with ‘Yclept Thorn’.

James McKeown has a knack for making the kind of music which drops you into another world. As Hawksmoor, his approach is both organic and synthetic. Analog machines breathing in wheezing syncopation, eliciting both cosmic sentiments and ancient mysteries found in a part of nature we have yet to unlock. On Hawksmoor's latest, the eerie and beautiful 'Yclept Thorn', he keeps the moods dialed in urgency and subdued tension. As the title track hints at, there's a tribal, medieval quality here; from organic percussion to the ethereal electronics, opening portals to villages frozen in time and ancient rural mystery, 'Yclept Thorn' is a masterclass in dark folk storytelling.

1. Yclept Thorn
2. Ockham
3. Lunastus
4. Mappi Mundi
5. Aquinas
6. Lingulaca
7. Trismosin
