Demdike Stare - any fans out there?

It seems that the whole library electronics-with-occult-elements vibe pioneered by the likes of BOC and GhostBox has culminated in these guys: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Demdike+Stare, easily one of the most interesting acts around at the moment.
Spooky song titles like 'Extwhistle Hall' and 'Trapped Dervish' suggest dark happenings afoot on the moors, and dabblings in the dark arts. The band logo alone is enough to put the willys up you.

Been listening to Symbiosis quite a bit recently, wonderful music. They're also pretty local to me, some sites say they're from Manchester and some say they're Lancastrian, intruiged to know where they are from specifically

I am totally in love with them. Been a fan for around 6 months. Stumbled across them on Bleep but almost certainly would have found them later through their association with hauntology. I listen to Liberation Through Hearing almost every day.

The band is Miles Whittaker from Pendel Coven and Sean Canty from the Finders Keepers label. They also have new material under a new name, Anworth Kirk. http://music.nsputnik.com/blog/miles-wh ... worth-kirk

They're releasing a new album at the end of this month, the final in the series apparently.

Been digging on this for a bit. Tryptych is top-notch quality shit. It comes highly recommended!

Thought more people would be talking about Demdike Stare on here. I love them. Been collecting their releases since they started out.

Anyone heard much of Miles Whittaker's previous group Pendle Coven? Worth checking out. Really deep and atmospheric stuff.

This one of my favorites of theirs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKYyqNjsviM

WOW. Never heard of Demdlike Stare. I'm into a lot of the Ghost Box/hauntology stuff, though, so this is just about perfect.
