A Golden Green Agnes Obel.

If you like strange yet entrancing music videos with haunting music reminiscent of Kimbra, take a look at Danish artist Agnes Obel’s single ‘Golden Green.’ The video is a collage of animation, both beautiful and unnerving, dancing on the edge of the Uncanny Valley. The song itself is sparse, held together by a xylophone-like percussion, clapping … Continue reading

Chelsea Wolfe-Grey Days- Chelsea Wolfe’s new single is lovely, eerie, and atmospheric. The instrumentation of “Grey Days” is dark with an industrial feel. Wolfe’s pretty voice hovers above it like a light at the end of the tunnel. The song is off of her upcoming album Abyss, due out August 7th. Suggestion by Sarah Elliott. Landlines -Things Haven’t Been The Same (Since … Continue reading

Ghost Culture- ‘Giudecca Beats’– ‘Giudecca Beats’ is a chilled out electronic song that is nevertheless reminiscent of synth-heavy 80s dance songs. The atmospheric vocals and sparse instrumentation on the track brings back memories of Depeche Mode and Flock of Seagulls. The song is off of Ghost Culture’s self titled album released earlier this month. Fallout Boy-‘Irresistible’– The pop rock powerhouse … Continue reading
