A Farewell To Hexes is one of a number of pseudonym/side projects of Adam Leonard who has quietly - and noisily - tinkered at the edges of eccentric English folk, electronic music, and more recently garage art-rock with Invaderband, (issuing a plethora of original music to critical acclaim via highly regarded boutique labels such as The Great Pop Supplement, Northwestern Recordings, Tectona Grandis, Polytechnic Youth, Castles In Space, Bibliotapes and TDO Cassettes) attaining a 'Northern Ireland Music Prize' nomination in the process. The 'Rendlesham' LP is an incredible record of often eerie, Radiophonic workshop-esque electronics and the story behind it is equally momentous. The events across two nights December 25 & 26 1980 in Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, have gone down in history; nowadays often dubbed the UK's most famous UFO incident or "Britain's Roswell". The artist and label strongly urge you to further investigate, it's an incredible passage of events with long lasting repercussions to the present day. The music on the record is intentionally redolent of British underground electronic music at the time of the Rendlesham Forest incident. For best results this album should be listened to in the dark with eyes closed. You will enter the forest... Limited to 250 copies.

HOME CURRENT - THAT SUMMER/GELB'That Summer' is a beautifully punchy, percussive slice of electronica.
