Ghost Mountain - "October Country"
A witch house revival is taking place, and I, for one, am here for it.

The Horrors - "The Feeling Is Gone"
The Horrors' sixth album, Night Life, moves away from the guitar-heavy tracks of the past and into the dark, synth-driven world of Sisters of Mercy's Floodland. "The Feeling Is Gone" features Arctic-cold synths, foggy drum machines, and Faris Badwan's goth prince baritone.

No Body ft. Aydo Abay - "Fear of the Golden Hour"
German post-punk/synthpop act Nobody teams up with Aydo Abay for the collaborative record Loves You. My favorite track is the haunting, synth-wash-drenched "Fear of the Golden Hour."

Factory Floor - "Between You"
Recorded with Stephen Morris of New Order, "Between You," the newest single from London's Factory Floor, is a slamming, euphoric banger. Makes me want to hit the dancefloor.

Swedish duo Sally Shapiro returns with a new album, Ready to Live a Lie, set for release in May. The first single is the delightfully melancholy "The Other Days," featuring their trademark lush synths and aching vocals.
