Listening to: Music for Satanic Children

Fantastic album by one of my favorite artists, Simon Stålenhag.  While many of his musical albums serve as official soundtracks for each book of his illustrations, this album stands on its own.

The songs are slow and creeping, evoking the feeling of walking suburban streets alone at night.  There is a sense of nostalgia, as though you are visiting familiar landmarks from your childhood town, recalling the eerie mystery of urban-legends you heard from your grade school friends.

Seriously check out this album.  I also recommend checking out Stålenhag's visual work, along with the accompanying soundtracks. Link to his site is in the sidebar.
