Special Guests RB Wood (http://rbwood.com/dir/) and Luis Nasser (https://shadowsmadeofsound.com/) on this edition of Captain Phil's Planet

The wait is almost over! R.B. Wood’s BAYOU WHISPERS will be out on the 29th (paperback and Kindle; audiobook in the works): https://geni.us/BayouWhispers
Bayou Whispers, the latest thriller from horror writer R.B. Wood is the story of no-nonsense New Orleans native, Jeannine LaRue, the sole survivor of her family after the devastation brought on by Hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of the storm, she believed she'd been saved, but soon found herself held hostage and sexually exploited, rescued months later by sheriff’s deputy Curtis Jones.
Twelve years after Katrina, Jeannine is a new attorney who returns to New Orleans to save her old friend Curtis Jones—now a local thief and trafficker of stolen goods—after he is arrested for the murder of Jeannine’s captors, whose bodies have recently been found. But Jeannine discovers more than she bargained for when she uncovers a family history of dark voodoo magic and an unholy alliance with an ancient evil Haitian god.
“Wood wrote a compelling tale steeped in New Orleans flavor and dark magic. The characters are colorful, likable, and altogether a triumph.”—Mercedes M. Yardley, Stoker Award-winning author of Little Dead Red
“Bayou Whispers is a haunting, touching novel that blends the horrors of everyday life with that of the supernatural. Tapping into the tension and setting of films like Angel Heart and True Detective, this is a hypnotic story told from a place of loss, community, and resolute hope.”—Richard Thomas, author of Disintegration and Thriller Award nominee, Breaker
“Wood’s Bayou Whispers is a sublime cocktail of horror, supernatural thriller, and urban fantasy, where the mythos of voodoo clashes with the modern day. Fans of Jim Butcher and the Marvel Cinematic Universe will love this.”—Todd Keisling, author of Devil’s Creek
“The secrets in BAYOU WHISPERS unwind like a line of music. But it’s the music that plays just before the monsters jump out.”—Sarah Read, Stoker award-winning author of “The Bone Weaver’s Orchard”

A Sky Full of Ghosts Sonus Umbra

Greetings fellow cosmonauts and current survivors in this year of the plague, 2020!

I am writing simply to share that the new album has arrived. Yes indeed! I had a chance to listen to the finished printed product, with my normal stereo I use all the time and also with headphones, in the dark, as I intended all Sonus albums to be heard.

It really and truly sounds fantastic.

I am anxious to hear people’s reactions. It’s an album that was made for people who like to listen, and I don’t say that in an elitist way; it just has a lot of stories within the story, self-references and many twists and turns that I think will be surprising and rewarding upon repeated listens, linking up to “Beyond the Panopticon” and closing the circle.

In the past, all I wanted was to write and make music for misanthropes, nerds, loners and the perturbed; my people.

Fast-forward 20 years to the present, and I think Andy Tillotson and yours truly took everyone’s work and managed to end up with something that gives mental footholds for all sensibilities.

You can choose to take the great fall inwards here, with us:
