By Editor • August 29, 2026 • 1 min read
Belbury Poly, known for its unique sound, is stepping back into the realm of 80s fantasy with their latest work. The band’s 2012 album, The Belbury Tales, marked a significant moment in the hauntology movement, blending elements of folk horror with eerie, nostalgic themes.
The album captures a peculiar atmosphere, evoking imagery of a municipal library that once served as an auroch burial ground, alongside whimsical references to non-existent computers found in Usborne books.
