Witch House, Haunted House, Drag ... whatever genre you want to call it, this style of music is stimulating, emotional, almost hypnotic. Music that compliments the winter season. Ambient, goth, dub, electro, pop are all styles that are incorporated into the music in a distinctive manner.
Artists such as the aforementioned 'Balam Acab', the to be mentioned 'oOoOO' and mentioned in this post Creep are taking many elements of these subgenres and creating music with their own poetic license.
Ghostly and distorted music made by living souls. As you can see hear in the track 'Days' which features an interesting collaboration with 'the xx's Romy'.
If you didn't download the mixtape below do so now.
As great as the mixtape is, there is a stand out track. Listen to 'She Makes Me Feel' your issues begin to dissipate, your surroundings become much more interesting and your spirits are lifted. A similar effect to that of a psychedelic ... not that I'm too clued up on what that is ... :-) ... I was snowboarding up on Mount Rose last week and as I ascended on the cable car this track came on and 'heightened', excuse the pun, the experience...
The Sun glares delicate clarity,
dazzling in the sapphire sky,
a cold breeze across rosy cheeks,
warm air fogs, evaporates instantly into thin air,
you catch your breath,
taken,
whilst painting maps of the wilderness with wandering eyes,
blissful solitude,
the eagle soars,
the eagle is you.
"She Makes Me Feel" ... 'She' being the beauty of life and all that nature encapsulates.
