Songs of Hiraeth - Digisleeve CD

A long-awaited collection, 'Songs of Hiraeth' shines a spotlight on a body of work written and recorded between 2009 and 2011. These are songs that were once set aside and scattered across forgotten splits, or lost to the passing of time. Now remixed and reamped, these tracks are presented anew and finally take their rightful place within the Panopticon canon.

These seven songs were originally intended for collaborative releases that never materialised. They were born during a formative period for Austin Lunn – a time of travel, personal growth, and political reflection. Themes of indigenous history, green anarchism and the consequences of industrialisation blend with a deep sense of nostalgia and the desire to overcome past trauma.

'Songs of Hiraeth' is not a meditation on death, but a tribute to transition, memory and paths once travelled. It encapsulates the spirit of an era, now brought into focus with the clarity of hindsight.
