Saint Paul forest-synth project Tree Gardener has a new five-track release on its Bandcamp page. Tales of Lycanthropy came out November 6 under the name Stake of Hawthorn (Bandcamp).

The release notes keep it short: "Presented here are five tales inspired by lycanthropic folklore." The tracks are "The Beast Within," "Wolfsbane in Bloom," "Belt of Wolf Skin," "Occurrence in a Snowy Mountain Pass" and "The Walls of Thy Castle Be Not High Enough." Together they run about 31 minutes, with "Wolfsbane in Bloom" alone close to 12. Credits list music and design by TG, photography by ELW and artwork by Hurmm.666. The release is tagged ambient, dark ambient, dungeon synth and forest synth (Bandcamp).

A week earlier, the same page posted ...Beneath the Samhain Moon (October 30), a single 14-minute piece described as "recorded live and (mostly) improvised" (Bandcamp).
