Bat For Lashes’ Natasha KhanToday we are publishing two 13 song Halloweenish indie rock playlists, leaving five more, four of which will be published as doubles as October 31st fast approaches. First up is a Bat For Lashes’ cover of The Cure’s original haunting post punk song, “A Forest.”
Last week, Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor released his debut solo 7″ single using the moniker CANT via his own Terrible Records. Gorilla vs. Bear provides this track which it calls “Taylor’s gorgeous and haunting (and aptly titled) contribution” to the Halloween indie music collection.
