Sam McLoughlin ~ Folklore of Plants Vol. II – The Venefic Garden
Last Fall, Folklore Tapes launched their Folklore of Plants series with a multi-media collection of flora-related material. Volume II zeroes in on one specific subset: poisonous wort. Sam McLoughlin showed his affinity for the subject on the first volume with an entry on the psychedelic henbane.

Folklore Tapes ~ Calendar Customs Box Set
In the digital era, it’s harder than ever to find physical releases that work wonderfully as gifts. There are plenty of great LPs, tapes and discs around, but they lack that sense of wow. Folklore Tapes has been bucking the trend

ACL 2017 ~ The Year’s Best Packaging

Various Artists ~ The Folklore of Plants Vol. I
Another expansive (but not expensive) project from Folklore Tapes, The Folklore of Plants is a tiny treasure trove. In addition to the LP, the contents include two pamphlets, a postcard, a packet of seeds, and a link to a short 16mm film.
