The Scariest Song You Will Hear This Week, We Guarantee

sw.jpgReclusive crooner Scott Walker’s contribution to the forthcoming 4AD compilation Plague Songs is “Darkness,” an ode to that particular plague. “Dark” doesn’t even begin to describe just how unsettling it is. The song starts off innocently enough, with a tambourine accompanying Walker’s otherwordly tenor–but then, a fright-night chorus swoops in, and you’re jumping out of your seat. Public service announcement: When you decide to hit “play,” please remember to have at least one light on.

    …..Fun with pitch shifters. I’ve set a guitar amp and speaker cab in the window on Halloween in the past, with the volume wide open on the clean side. I hook up a mic, and run it through compression, several cycles of pitch-shifting, and a little echo and reverb. It’s great for scaring the bejeebus out of trick-or-treaters!
