Noah Gundersen released his achingly inviting Carry the Ghost album this past August and if you haven’t found your perfect fall soundtrack yet, this is the one for which you’ve been waiting. Ahead of the album’s release, Gundersen offered up the 6-track Carry the Ghost Primer here on NoiseTrade and if you missed out the first time around, it’s still available. The sampler starts off with two brand new tracks from Carry the Ghost: the pleading piano ballad “Slow Dancer” and the heartland burn of “Jealous Love.” The rest of the release features four songs from Gundersen’s equally intimate Twenty-Something EP. Of that gorgeous batch, “Bag of Glass” and “Heartbreaker” seriously can’t be beat.

Dying Surfer Meets His Maker(Bonus Bundle)

Like Gundersen, Nashville’s hypnotic psych-rockers All Them Witches are celebrating a new album with an exclusive NoiseTrade release featuring two new songs and an earlier catalog album. Their new album Dying Surfer Meets His Maker released yesterday and the two songs featured here – “Dirt Preachers” and “Open Passageways” – are both thump-and-warble stunners. Also included here is their 8-song Lightning at the Door album from 2014 that Brooklyn Vegan described as “a heady brew of swirling tones and heavy blue-eyed blues rock.” These 10 tracks will give you a really wonderful taste of the heavy, psychedelic sounds created when All Them Witches get going.

There's been a staggering amount of good music that's resulted from the combination of Danny Elfman's music in Tim Burton's films. "This is Halloween" from The Nightmare Before Christmas is unquestionably one of the higher highlights. This is Halloween is a remix EP from J Crutch that features four techno-industrial takes on the cinematic-themed classic and each variation focuses on different elements of the song's whimsical genius. Plus, they're all instrumentals, so instant Halloween karaoke party!

Death Walks the Streets #1:
A New Marshall Fall (Halloween) (eBook)

James Zahn’s Death Walks the Streets is a graphic novel – emphasis on the word “graphic” – that tracks characters Michael, Malcolm, and Danielle as they traverse a slightly, nay extremely, violent Halloween night in the town of New Marshall. Ain’t It Cool News praised Death Walks the Streets by saying “there’s something beneath the surface and just off in the periphery that oozes evil” and The Pull Box warns to “leave your horror story stereotypes at the comic book shop door.” If creepy comics are your thing, this one’s for you!
