London-based band will release Five Songs on April 1

Crumbling Ghost have announced that they’ll release a mini-album entitled Five Songs on April 1.

The London-based outfit are said to “celebrate the more sinister side of British folk history and music,” with their upcoming material described as exploring “the sorrowful histories of long-deceased inhabitants of forgotten Britain.”

The statement on the mini-album continues: “Five Songs takes you on an ethereal stroll through doomed relationships, drownings and confidence tricksters, in four new arrangements of traditional folk songs, plus a new original track.”

The mini-album is available to order in a variety of formats via the group’s Bandcamp page. They’ve also lined up three shows in support of the release.
