Ghost Mountain - "October Country"

A witch house revival is taking place, and I, for one, am here for it.  Ghost Mountain, part of the Northern California rap collective Haunted Mound, has released a mixtape reveling in the genre's tropes: murky, tinny drum machines, blasted and reverbed synths, and masked vocals. The title track, "October Country," is a prime example.

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. 

Bob Mould - "Neanderthal"

From his fantastic new record Here We Go Crazy, "Neanderthal" is a blistering rager.

Sally Shapiro - "The Other Days"

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.

Lady Gaga ft. Gesaffelstein) - "Killah"

Mayhem is a return to form for Lady Gaga, leaning more into weird artpop, which is always her sweet spot. "Killah," a collaboration with Gesaffelstein, marries Depeche Mode beats with David Bowie/Prince swagger.
