Whistle and I'll Come To You
Whistle and I’ll Come To You by Death and Vanilla is an evanescent, cinematic dream-pop companion to the cult 1968 BBC ghost story film.

The Last Sacrifice
The Last Sacrifice by Mike Lindsay—co-founder of Tunng and the creative force behind Lump—offers a meticulously crafted folk-horror soundtrack that doubles as a standalone listening experience. Written as the audio companion to Rupert Russell's sinister true crime tale, Lindsay’s score winds through moods of spectral dread and rustic eeriness, shaped by analog warmth and otherworldly textures. The resulting album is immersive and haunting, deftly blending traditional English folk motifs with chi…

You Must Be Certain Of The Devil
In 1988, with America's AIDS death toll at 46,000 and antivirals still years away, Diamanda Galás released You Must Be Certain of the Devil, the final installment of her Masque of the Red Death trilogy. Her brother Philip had died of AIDS-related illness in 1986. She had been attending Act Up protests. Critics dismissed her as "the AIDS lady," unwilling to reckon with what she was actually doing: creating a work she described as "begun in 1984 and not completed until the end of the epidemic." No…

Slow Crimes
2025 Stock. The Work emerged from the dissolution of Henry Cow in 1979, formed by saxophonist Tim Hodgkinson, guitarist Bill Gilonis, bassist Mick Hobbs, and drummer Rick Wilson. Their inaugural LP, Slow Crimes, is a little-known treasure of transformative magnitude, so rabidly articulate that it presides over and resides in a world very much unto itself. While falling within the loosest guidelines of post-punk, the term proves inadequate: the textural intricacies and distinct deliberacy through…
