Regardless of what you may have thought of last year’s “Blair Witch”, the score by Adam Wingard is a must-have for those who enjoy dark ambient music – foreboding, atmospheric and genuinely creepy, reminiscent of Lustmord‘s Heresy-era soundscapes.

I’ve been a big fan of Julee Cruise since Twin Peaks first aired in the 90’s, and big fan of King Dude since I discovered them on BandCamp.com a couple of years ago.
