Ian Read’s 1994 sophomore effort “Hollow Ways” is widely considered to be one of the classic albums from the golden age of Apocalyptic Folk. The baroque-folk guitar stylings courtesy of Michael Cashmore (Current 93, Nature & Organisation), a guest appearance by rune expert Freya Aswynn on ‘Seeker,’ and a German-language murder ballad called ‘Ershebeth’ all contribute to this album’s timeless character.
