Run Wrake - Rabbit

Ok, so not really a record club kind of thing (although the sound is excellent in this), but I just rediscovered this amazing animation and am going to slap it right into the horror category. Enjoy.

Music For Vampyr

So first of all you should all watch Dreyer's Vampyr because apparently it's a horror classic.

OK now you're ready for Dismantle. The EP is meant as a soundtrack for this film.

Here's my favorite track: 

Morphosis is Rabih Beaini's project. Dismantle was released on Honest Jon's Records in June 2013. You can also read this interview he did with RA in 2011.

Continuing murder

Shirley and Dolly Collins- The Oxford Girl

One of my long time favourites. This is about a man who wishes to marry a young girl. He at least has the morality to accept she is too young. But then finds himself murdering her and floating her off down a river. And then goes on to say how self pitying he is. It wouldnt have happened if she was older I guess.. Silly girl tut tut. 
Its a good one.

Murder ballads... Pretty Polly // Down in the Willow Garden

Different ballads, similar themes... 

I really love this folk tradition of horrific stories told as perky, sing-a-long melodies 

Down in the Willow Garden
"Down in the Willow Garden", also known as "Rose Connelly" is a traditional Appalachian murder ballad about a man facing the gallows for the murder of his lover: he gave her poisoned wine, stabbed her, and threw her in a river.

Pretty Polly 

"The song is a murder ballad, telling of a young woman lured into the forest where she is killed and buried in a shallow grave. Many variants of the story have the villain as a ship's carpenter who promises to marry Polly but murders her when she becomes pregnant. When he goes back to sea, he is haunted by her ghost, confesses to the murder, goes mad and dies."
