How does this community feel about the newer goth cousin to industrial, witch house? Or should we keep it more traditional industrial stuff here?
I’m into it. Certainly gets just as much playtime nowadays as the synthpop and futurepop in the days of yore.
So I got a chance to check this out, and I have to say I really like it. It’s like dark, haunted lo-fi for goth folks, with WAY better audio engineering. Great for setting an atmosphere or mood. Reminds me of the moody Darkwave stuff from the 90s like Lycia or Switchblade Symphony, but vocals take a backseat to heavy, dark vibes. Sort of a “modern haunted” feel.
I went to see the Paranormal Cirque this weekend, and much of the first half of this playlist would have worked perfectly as a soundtrack for many of the acts.
Thanks so much for the introduction to the genre!
I’m unfamiliar, could you offer an example playlist or a couple of artists?
Here’s a mix I made a few years back that should act as a good intro https://soundcloud.com/zephyr_x/ifl-witch-house
There’s a tracklist in the description, and the vibe changes through different segments so feel free to skip around. Witch house has a pretty diverse soundscape. And this mix is from 2016, it’s continued to evolve since then
If people enjoy I’ll share more 😁
