An addictive and highly pleasurable meander through trip-hop, drum and bass, dream pop, and post-rock. Just dive in and you won’t be disappointed.
Highlights: “Breather”, “Almost Sleeping”, “Shut Off / Curl Up”
The whole album feels like a voyage, explores diferrent rhythms and laguagens but feels very cohesive. Laetitia Sadier vocals sound beautiful and light and alongside the experimental melodies.
Highlight to the single ping-pong with it's upbeat energy but grave lyrics.
Late to this but holy cow. I couldn’t be more enamoured with the tones and textures of this EP. Each track is a banger and inventive in its own way. Boldly charts a course for pop music.
Highlights: “Hell of a Ride”, “Poison-Soaked”, “Had Ya Called”
I’m still watching them even tho October is over wtf??? I just can’t get enough. Recent greats include:
Noroi: The Curse (2005)
- Found footage… the climax is so good. Great for fans of ghost/demon stuff.
Pulse (2001)
- One of my favourite horror movies ever. Worms its way into your being. Some truly terrifying, iconic scenes and imagery, not to mention quite prescient in its message re: online connectivity and society. Really can’t sing its praises enough!
Ju-On: The Grudge (2002)
- A classic!!! Still hits. Quintessential haunted house domestic strife ghost story. Toshio 😢🐈⬛
Audition (1999)
- Probably my least favourite of this batch. Not for the squeamish. Still worth a watch if only for its feminist social commentary.
GonJiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)
- OK this one is admittedly kinda hokey but it’s based off a REAL location and the jump scares are amazing!! Some truly spine-tingling moments. Not recommended just before bed lol 😬 (Also found footage)
