Just in time for Halloween, we have a few treats: experimental composer and hauntology pioneer Drew Mulholland has released ‘A Portmanteau of Horrors,’ a new album that showcases his ‘soundcraftian magic’ in the realm of classic cinematic horror. Plus, some past favourites: The Cunning Man (Short Film), Penelope Trappes ‘Sleep’ video starring Maxine Peake and Kate Dickie, and a Folk Horror Mixtape.

Read our in-depth interview with Grammy-winning producer Ian Brennan on his new album, West Virginia Snake Handler Revival “They Shall Take Up Serpents”. This raw, live recording from Appalachia’s last snake-handling church captures a service Brennan calls “the most metal thing” he’s ever seen. Out now on Sublime Frequencies.

Bristol-based artist Tamsin Elliott will release her anticipated second album, The Meeting Tree, on November 28th. Following her acclaimed debut FREY, which processed themes of chronic illness and environmental grief, this new collection shifts focus to celebrate connection, nature, and “everything which makes me feel alive.” Watch the video for “Lonely Jig,” her lead single, performed with her trio featuring Sid Goldsmith on cittern and Rowan Elliott on fiddle.

The Weather Station has released two new singles, “Airport” and “Only The Truth,” recorded during the sessions for their acclaimed Humanhood album. The release precedes an upcoming UK and European tour, which includes a special London performance at EartH Theatre with a string quartet on November 21st.

Lankum have released a devastating, otherworldly cover of The Specials’ ‘Ghost Town’. The single is accompanied by a stunning video directed by the renowned Leonn Ward and shot on location in County Wicklow, with cinematography by Oscar-nominee Robbie Ryan. It’s a haunting piece of visual art, reminiscent of Andrei Tarkovsky—the perfect match to the track’s unsettling intensity.

Filmed in the Sierra Nevada by Sweet Harmony Sessions, Mama’s Broke deliver a powerful performance of “Pick the Raisins from the Paska”, during which the duo merge the percussive art of Cajun fiddlesticks with a Ukrainian-influenced melody. The song, named for a family memory of picking raisins from Easter bread, perfectly captures the duo’s signature blend of tradition, heart, and astonishing skill.

Chicago-based sound artist Lia Kohl has shared three new tracks from her forthcoming album, Various Small Whistles and a Song, set for release on November 14 via Dauw and which draws its unique concept from Ed Ruscha’s 1964 artist book, Various Small Fires and Milk. The new tracks feature contributions from Patrick Shiroishi, Corey Smith, Ellie Mejía, and Anna Fox.

Midlake share “Eyes Full Of Animal,” the final single from their eagerly awaited sixth album, A Bridge To Far (out 7th November). Described as a “groove-based psychedelic beauty,” the song channels a “more visceral energy,” tracing a moment of emotional misalignment. It is the final preview of the new LP, produced by Sam Evian and already earning rave reviews.

Folk singer-songwriter Dani Larkin releases a compelling double A-side, featuring the original track ‘Morning’ and a cover of ‘She Moved Through The Fair’. ‘Morning’, an arrangement of Eleanor Farjeon’s 1931 hymn Morning Has Broken, is set to open Larkin’s 2026 album, Next Of Kin. The traditional cover is paired with a video featuring circus artist Christopher McAuley.
