MP3: Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words - Ashen like the sky

From the 2007 album "Fall, fall falling" because 'tis the season. The Autumn Equinox hits like a hammer up here, bringing on dead leaves; damp, dreary days and long, dark nights. The angle of light gives the world a special glow and a new chill enters the air, mixing with wood smoke. I'll have lived in this house for 5 years come Halloween and I'm still not quite used to the suddenness of it all. Still, after living most of my life in California, there will always be something special about experiencing true seasonal change. Besides, fall really is the best, most beautiful time of year.

Dead Letters posts rare tracks

Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words has posted a whole bunch of rare and unreleased tracks to Soundcloud for streaming: http://soundcloud.com/whenskiesaregrey

Mailorder update!

Firstly, I've got a new item in stock: Undergången - An audio companion to the End-Tymes (CS)
Cassettes are the new black and none are more black than this, a 120-minute compilation of dark sounds compiled by Thomas Ekelund of Dead Letters Spell Out Dead Words. Limited to 100 copies, so don't be surprised if they disappear quick.

Second! There are still a few final sleeveless copies of Hello Saferide's "Introducing..." LP available. After that, they are gone forever. Buy now!

Third! Our ongoing CD clearance sale may be winding down and thinning out, but there are still plenty of deals to be had! Please, help me get rid of all these damn CDs!

Fourth, and finally, if you want any chance of your order making it to your house by Christmas, you absolutely have to get it in this week as I will be making my last pre-Xmas trip to the post office on Saturday, December 12. Wait too long and your package might not arrive until New Year's. And then in 2010 I'm shutting down for inventory and renovation, so if you've been considering a purchase, the clock is ticking..
