The Swamp In June and The Frog Pond. Both field recordings from Rhode Island, once issued in vinyl form by the Droll Yankees label and now on Archive.org — since they appear to have been abandoned by whoever may have inherited the rights in the 1970s.

“… there are stretches of marshland that one instinctively dislikes, and indeed almost fears at evening when unseen whippoorwills chatter and the fireflies come out in abnormal profusion to dance to the raucous, creepily insistent rhythms of stridently piping bull-frogs.” — “The Dunwich Horror”.

Droll Yankees was a two-man enthusiast record-label devoted in the 1960s to collecting and releasing “the sounds of New England” before they vanished. There was also a seaport series, including “steamboat leaving Newport on a foggy morning”. There’s probably potential here for a new compilation of the most Lovecraftian of the recordings, perhaps interwoven with some of Lovecraft’s topographical weird poems of New England and travel letters.
