everyday is halloween!

this song, by the band, low, was featured in The Mothman Prophecies [2002].  the movie stars richard gere, as a reporter researching a cryptid called The Mothman, as well as laura linney & debra messing.  the pic achieves a kind of spooky tone as gere's character gets pulled into the strange happenings in a small town & its Mothman sightings.  the source material for the film is a non-fiction book by john keel, based, allegedly, on real events in the late 1960s.  the movie is okay.  but this song is sublime.  haunting & beautiful.  low is a fantastic band.  the singer for this song, mimi parker, passed away in 2022 at the early age of 55.  low's music was minimalist at heart, but they can crank up the noise when they wanted.  i saw them perform live when they opened for slowdive when that band reformed in 2014.  low was great.  at the end of their set the timbers of The Warfield in SF were cracking from the massive sounds made onstage by low.  at any rate, this song is a little unusual for The Spooky Season but this remix by the composer duo tomandandy is killer & sounds like a haunted house. 
boo!
