H.P. Lovecraft Performs "The White Ship"

Below is rare footage of the H.P. Lovecraft psychedelic band performing one of their overtly Lovecraftian songs, "The White Ship." The obscure band holding Lovecraft's name hit their prime in the late 1960s, and produced a limited number of albums. Only a few of their songs directly referenced their namesake's literary themes, but they remain notable for being the first major representation of H.P. Lovecraft based music. Somehow, these songs sound doubly haunting today.

Think of them as a ghostly chorus from an earlier epoch, infused with one of Lovecraft's own early spectral imprints.
