Agalloch just posted some rarities and B-sides to a new Bandcamp page, mostly ghosts-whispering-in-the-forest acoustic shizz. You know you love it.

Download Agalloch’s first-ever New York City performance at NPR Music. The “savagely beautiful and personal” set culled equally from Marrow of the Spirit and Ashes Against the Grain, but also pulled out some obscure favorites.There’s also a link to download the medieval-like doom metal band Worm Ouroboros’ set from the same night.
