- LISTENING PARTY: Mushroom Blues Soundtrack
The Mushroom Blues soundtrack is almost here, and to give you a taste, production duo Sporer and author Adrian M. Gibson have come together for an official LISTENING PARTY.

They also show off four of the album's eight tracks.
ALBUM RELEASE:
Mushroom Blues soundtrack releases on March 19 in digital format on Bandcamp, Apple Music, and more, as well as physically in limited edition cassette tapes. It will also be available to stream on Spotify.Pre-order it here.
BOOK RELEASE:
Mushroom Blues releases on March 19 in paperback and eBook, April 2 in hardcover, and April 16 in audiobook.
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
BLADE RUNNER, TRUE DETECTIVE and DISTRICT 9 meld with the weird worlds of JEFF VANDERMEER, PHILIP K. DICK and CHINA MIÉVILLE in Adrian M. Gibson’s fungalpunk noir debut.
TWO YEARS AFTER a devastating defeat in the decade-long Spore War, the island nation of Hōppon and its capital city of Neo Kinoko are occupied by invading Coprinian forces. Its Fungal citizens are in dire straits, wracked by food shortages, poverty and an influx of war refugees. Even worse, the corrupt occupiers exploit their power, hounding the native population.
As a winter storm looms over the metropolis, NKPD Detective Henrietta Hofmann begrudgingly partners up with mushroom-headed patrol officer Koji Nameko to investigate the mysterious murders of Fungal and half-breed children. Their investigation drags them deep into the seedy underbelly of a war-torn city, one brimming with colonizers, criminal gangs, racial division and moral decay.
In order to solve the case and unravel the truth, Hofmann must challenge her past and embrace Fungal ways. What she and Nameko uncover in the midst of this frigid wasteland will chill them to the core, but will they make it through the storm alive?
