A Gothic Elegy for December.
It’s perhaps no coincidence that this is the season for lights, celebration and jollity; providing a mask for the potential bleakness of winter and what, for many, is a time of reflection, longing and regret. The mask can slip, however.
Come What May appears in its original piano-led ‘school choir’ version on the album Iniquitous, the forthcoming sequel to Mystery Fields.
A haunted hymn of sorts, it acts as the theme song to the dark drama The Sins of the Living (adapted from the novel by Agatha Sheldon); a chilling, ghostly tale set in a Victorian boarding school. This alternate ‘single version’ – released in advance of the new album – has been reworked and reinvented; and features a haunting lead vocal by Subphotic’s Rebecca Denniff.

Colin’s daughter spent a year working at this charity and although she wasn’t able to say much about it, it’s glaringly obvious that they are genuinely saving the lives of young women in the most dire and dangerous situations.
From their website:
