Playlist for ghosts in the woods.

Another playlist for my friend Camilla, this time with a loose theme of ghosts, goths and the 1990s film, 'The Craft'. There's a varied selection, but they're all good accompaniment to casting spells, digging graves, and black moods. Shadowy, whispery, dream-poppy ecstasy for the discerning dark romantic. 


A guide to help you through the woods and witches...

1. FEVER RAY - KEEP THE STREETS EMPTY FOR ME: a ghost that can play the pan-pipes really well.

2. RAMMSTEIN - ENGEL: an angry German ghost that sometimes appears wearing bondage gear.

3. MY BLOODY VALENTINE - ONLY SHALLOW: the roaring and distorted ghost of the stoned 1990s.

4. THE CURE - LULLABY: by far the sexiest ghost in the woods, may have you for dinner tonight.

5. QUEENADREENA - JOLENE: a stomping, jealous ghost that doesn't wear very much.

6. LADYTRON - I'M NOT SCARED: I'm actually quite scared by this ghost.

7. GOTYE - SOMEBODY THAT I USED TO KNOW: a ghost you hear on every radio station, all the time.

8. COLDPLAY - TROUBLE: a melancholy but likable male ghost that names its daughter after fruit.

9. ZOLA JESUS - NIGHT: a whispery, spine-chiller of a ghost that wails better than Florence Welch.

10. PETER GABRIEL - DON'T GIVE UP: featuring Kate Bush's ghost in the chorus.

11. BLONDE REDHEAD - 23: a chilled out ghost that likes to dream about numbers.

12. THE FLAMING LIPS - I CAN BE A FROG: the ghost of Karen O's zoo animals channeled by telephone.

13. DEERHUNTER - DESIRE LINES: the cheeriest and catchiest ghost in the woods.

14. FLEETWOOD MAC - RHIANNON: the kind of ghost that most people's  parents would like.

15. PLACEBO - PURE MORNING: a hot but overly nasal ghost with breasts and all the rest.

16. M83 - MIDNIGHT CITY: a ghost that loves to dance and has an absolutely killer saxophone solo.

17. FAIRPORT CONVENTION - TAM LIN: a seven minute long story-telling ghost. 

If you're curious and want to make this playlist (I am far too lazy to link everything), I find Spotify works an absolute treat! Or you could find them all on beemp3.com like I did nyahahaaa. Also hunt for my moon disco playlist from last year if you enjoyed this and want even more jingly, echoey crap to listen to.
