Have a Ghoulish Halloween

I seem to have stumbled across a bunch of actually good sort-of Halloweeny music entirely by accident in the past few months. It would be ghoulish of me not to share.

The Dead Weather: Die by the Drop
"A little grave we can fill together."




Cat Power: Werewolf
She did this song a few years ago. I came across it in the context of Almodovar's latest, "Broken Embraces."




Liminanas: I'm Dead
Only the French could make being dead so lively.


The National: Anyone's Ghost

"Walk through the Manhattan valleys of the dead."




Salem: Frost
Well, if the music genre is called witch haus, of course it's going to be Halloween-appropriate. Get it via pitchfork here.


The Black Keys: Howlin' for You.
Because no Halloween playlist is complete without a little blues-heavy howlin' at the moon.
