Ben Calvert & The Swifts: Dartington Dreams & Nightmares (12″ EP, six songs, 2018)
(Limited to 200 copies.)

Dartington College of Arts was an experimental arts school, hidden away on a country estate in Devon; a beautiful, isolated, inspiring and haunted place, with its own ancient and modern myths and legends. Ben studied Theatre there for three years. This EP tells the stories of lives within the setting of its sprawling gardens, historic buildings and performance studios, aided by a version of The Kinks classic song See My Friends.

Available exclusively through bandcamp.
