Mount Sims
Grave
A slow, cold-blooded crawl through synths, live drums and a graveside croon: Grave, from the 2008 album Happily Ever After produced by Thomas Stern, turns Mount Sims' taste for horror into five minutes of nocturnal dread.
Mount Sims
Ashes
A smouldering piece of dark synth-pop that opens Mount Sims' 2004 album Wild Light: cold machines and a weary croon circle the remains of something that burned out long ago.
David Lynch, Karen O
Pinky's Dream (Trentemøller Remix Instrumental)
Trentemøller strips Karen O away and leaves only the nightmare: a throbbing, sinister synth drive that sounds like a car speeding down a Lynchian highway at night.
Louisahhh
Like A Vice
A dark and pulsating techno track that closes Louisahhh's intentionally brutal 2017 EP A Trap I've Built, delving into desire, control and liberation.
