This short album is a collection of tracks which serve as reading accompaniments to two short stories by Clark Ashton Smith: “A Night in Malnéant” and “Ubbo-Sathla”, both first published in 1933.

Originally, the tracks were projected to be released as a split album, but that never materialized, so here they are for your enjoyment.

On this album, Autaar employs (as is tradition) synth sweeps, droning bass, and a lot of tape recorders. These sounds convey the oozing, primeval, elder god Ubbo-Sathla, and the dark, foggy gothic atmosphere of the trapping city of Malnéant.

The full stories have been provided in each track’s information, for your convenience. You can also read along via the following links:
