Asphodel by Kim Anderson
Asphodel is a wildflower that was woven into the tapestry of Greek Mythology. It was known as the flower that grows in the Elysian Fields of the Greek Underworld.
Mythology from around the world is similarly woven into the fabric of the eight unique and genre-bending songs on Kim Anderson's sophomore album.
