Back in 2021, I made a big orchestral/choir cover of Hornet's Theme for a Hollow Knight tribute album.
Except I never posted my own track, because I thought "SURELY we'll have a Silksong release date this year, I'll post it then!!" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
...So anyway here's "Upon Her Sacred Thread" LOL

Many of you ask, kindly, for recent EPs to be put on Spotify. I want to tell you they are missing on purpose. Jeremy has articulated better than I will here. I recommend watching his video : )
This will premiere today at 9:00 a.m. pst. If you'd like to come by and hang out while we watch it that would be cool. I can answer any questions you might have about stuff in the video.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.
