It’s October and therefore you should be getting proper spooky. What better way than to dive into some Halloween (and spooky-adjacent) sounds. This year, I’m going to be doing a handful of small mixes based around particular styles, rather than one big mega-mix. Volume one is leans into the loud and energetic. Volume two will be more electronic. Volume three heads into the darker atmospheric sounds. After that? I’m not sure. I’m up for suggestions.
You can stream Volume One on Apple MusicandSpotify. Tracklist is on the image.
I fell behind in my goal of 4 specific Halloween mixtapes, so I’m making good on it, by compiling everything thus far unused, into a megamix that you can throw on and enhance your spooky times. The collection will be continually updated and reaaranged through Halloween, so by all means, subscribe on Spotify and stick around for some additions.
Featuring: Joy Division, Chromatics, Radiohead, M83, The Cure, Sonic Youth, Nick Cave, David Bowie, The Shins, The Knife, and many, many more.
A must-read for SATB fans. Bennett puts into words the aural landscapes this album has always given me. PEEPSHOW and Kate Bush’s HOUNDS OF LOVE, my two all-time favorite albums, being strange, expansive fairy tales for the ears and soul.
