Pajo - Scream With Me (2009)



















David Pajo was the guitar player of Slint and then went on to play and record with bands such Tortoise, Royal Trux and a bunch more as well as solo projects under different monikers. Scream With Me is his most recent effort collecting 9 covers of The Misfits turned into soft, finger picked acoustic cuts. The combination of the acoustic guitar, lo-fi recording and vocals give the songs a very creepy vibe and make for an interesting listen.
Good fall music

Dead Man's Bones - S/T (2009)



















Oscar nominated actor Ryan Gosling and fellow actor Zach Shields went into the studio with a bunch of instruments and The Silverlake Conservatory Of Music Children's Choir to make a Halloween themed record. It's creepy, catchy and fun and has been getting comparisons from The Arcade Fire to Bryan Ferry featuring a kids choir gone goth. In addition, the artistic aesthetic of old Universal horror films, vaudeville music-hall numbers, and silent-screen melodramas infest the music. I know it sounds like it would suck but it's very awesome. ANTI- and Werewolf Heart (Gosling's record label) will be handling the release this October.
