Biography

Blood Cousin writes gentle ghost-like folk songs that often times put you right into a graveyard at sunrise/sunset. The dark folk project made its way to Furious Hooves through a single song called "Day 2 (Await)" which was on the Furhoof Halloween Split Series No.01 with mumbledust.

On June 11th 2013 Blood Cousin digitally released the debut 4-song EP 'You Won (or, We Have All Lost)' via Furious Hooves. There were a few rare handmade miniCD made, but nothing else in terms of physical media.

Since the EP’s release in 2013, Blood Cousin has only released a few singles here and there. The first volume in Furhoof’s Stay Rad series featured a previously unreleased track in 2013. Blood Cousin wrote a new Halloween-themed song in 2015 for the fifth release in the Furhoof Halloween Split Series, this time with 1,000 Pieces. 1,000 Pieces' song "Day Job" is about a ghost frustrated with his job. Blood Cousin's song "Night Shift" is about a vampire fed up with working nights and dreaming of a 9-to-5. Together they are ‘Working For The Freakend.’

Press & Accolades

"...a pitch black beauty that sounds like the somber ballad of a low fog rolling in over [a] graveyard. It’s melancholic guitar barely enough to rise the lovely, hushed vocals out of a whisper. Highest recommendation."
– Perfect|Midnight|World, review of “Day 2 (Await).”

"'Theme of the Raven’ is taken from the EP which borders the thin red, white and blue line between Americana and dark folk. The 4 tracks are distantly dreamy, kind of like what I imagine an EP recorded by a ghost might sound like."
– Fuzzbook, review of ‘You Won (Or We Have All Lost)’ EP.
