Terrascopædia issue 25 - published July 2025

Terrascopædia issue 25 - published July 2025. Interviews include Ethan Miller of Howlin’ Rain, Heron Oblivion, Comets on Fire and Silver Current Records; Australian psych-folk outfit Trappist Afterland, revered for their mesmerizing melodies and haunting lyrics; Declining Winter, the current vehicle for Richard Adams of Hood to knit patterns of drowsy melancholy with acoustic guitar and banks of waterlogged strings; the devotional acoustic folk of the legendary P.G. Six, and an interview with NY based songwriter and author Julie Beth Napolin whose debut album consists of droning cosmic folk in the Kendra Smith mould that absolutely floored me on first listen. Plus the usual news and views from the desk of the editor. As ever, each copy is entirely printed by hand from cover to cover, set mostly in 14pt type, and is printed in colour on hand-cut acid-free laid paper on a mixture of a 1926 vintage Arab treadle press and a large format proofing press. Cover size: Large Post Quarto (8 inches by 10 inches). 28 pages. 170 copies printed.
