released January 25, 2021

No. 2 of 5 in a set of 'pandemic' home session records that I captured during the multiple (Covid-19) lockdowns (along with Love, (Toil and Trouble) Of the Wayward, and Lays Amidst Darkly Days, Vol. 1 & 2).

This little rough sketch, Seize the Thorns, was caught on the eve of the Saturnalia. One entry, a love letter, the other keening for a lost love. The words are from my diary, Adrift in Acheron. Like the other releases, this is not mastered or cleaned. As a diarist, I feel we are in a place where we need to just let things out and not waste time focusing on perfectionism.

This release is written/composed, created (including the artwork), performed, and published solely by (me) Lavinia Valeriana at home in Warwickshire.
