Mandy Morton - Sea of Storms (1980)

English folk rock given to prog-ish, synth-y flourishes anchored by a melancholic, fantastical core. A great record that tends to get overshadowed by its also-great predecessor, Magic Lady. "Twisted Sage" makes my Halloween playlist every year. Is "city witch" still a thing? City witches would love this.

Track listing:

1. Maybe One Day

2. After the Storm

3. Black Nights

4. Compline Anthem

5. Victoria by the Window

6. Ghost of Christmas Past

7. Twisted Sage

8. Wake Up the Morning

When I speak, you say I lie

So death come to you all
