An 80's Darkwave Halloween



Behold : a soundtrack of sorts for all the Goth kids perpetually wandering the cemeteries, swathed in black and waiting for the night.

Every day is Halloween, right?

As always,

*** ENJOY ***

At The Halloween Hop



The year is 1958 ... Teens in their home-made costumes are headed to the thriving All Hallows sock hop at the gym, some of them planning on spiking the "witch's brew" with some back pocket whisky ... 

A group or two are planning on driving by the spooky abandoned house a few neighborhoods away ... Others wanna sneak away and neck in the back seat while the full moon rises ... 


As always,

focal point : Dead Can Dance




Mysterious … Entrancing … Other-worldly …Dead Can Dance (Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry) appeared out of nowhere in the 1980's, sounding like nothing or no one around them ... It was as if they were musical ghosts haunting the world with their strange and beautiful ancient, yet modern sounds ... 

Their sound has been described as "constructed soundscapes of mesmerising grandeur and solemn beauty; African polyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chant, Middle Eastern mantras, and art rock.” Lisa Gerrard sings in her own "language" or glossalalia, similar to what young children use to talk or sing or what some pentecostal groups use to pray (speaking in tongues). 


 As always,


ENJOY
