The Eleventh Plague

by Jeff Hirsch

“The Eleventh Plague” moves through ruin, scavenging routes, and fragile community hope after a devastating influenza war. This playlist pairs sci-fi-leaning, electronic and cinematic instrumentals (for the damaged landscapes and traveling) with restrained, human vocal tracks that mirror grief, caretaking, and cautious rebuilding at Settler’s Landing.
