Here are 2 examples that I like, the latter being eerier. I'll be happy if some recommendations come, in the light (or shadow) of these two songs. |

Just off the top of my head: Get Out of My House by Kate Bush, about The Shining. I'll have to dig for some more.

One of the best soundtracks ever.

The obvious choice is Comus' First Utterance, but you could also try Curved Air's Phantasmagoria or the creepy soundtrack to The Wicker Man by Paul Giovanni and Magnet.

| Try "Faaip De Oiad" - last track on Tool's Lateralus. |

Even a song like The Herald has a lake of eeriness underneath its surface. Another recommendation: Or this one (not filed on PA, but it meets some requirements): Many eerie songs can be found in the folk sphere.

dr wu23 - Dead Can Dance: I liked it. Thanks! Very good cover art too. Nogbad_The_Bad - Shub Niggurath: Definitely interesting, some atonality there I presume and it gets quite macabre. Eerie indeed, and at times disturbing/unnerving. Is the hooded figure in the cover wearing a COVID-19 mask, or is it for the bubonic plague?  Univers Zero's song (or EP or album, whahtsoever) is a bit too long for me to listen to now, but it seems more ambient type of an eerie song. I'll give it a thorough listen later. (I know this band but couldn't remember hearing this song.) Present: Very good musicianship and a creepy atmosphere. Is its genre apocolyptical jazz or jazz/rock combustion? Poor guitars...  siLLy puPPy - Morte Macabre: Starts off very good, but I guess it is a full-length album, and I'll again listen to it in its entirety later. Archaia: The same. In French language I guess? This also seems nice! Klaus Schultze and Deathspell Omega. Both are like masters in their genres. Though, I rather appreciate than like the latter. Awesoreno: Get Out of My House by Kate Bush: I wouldn't call it "eerie", but a darkly mysterious song. I liked it. BTW, the Saens song that I gave as an example was not actually frightening too (which means it embodies the strangeness aspect of the word more dominantly). Or even if it is so, it's gotta be an adventurous and thrilling sort of eeriness.  DamoXt7942 - Horde Catalytique Pour la Fin: It starts off VERY weird, and I'll again listen to it later. Mahogany Brain: A cinematic inception that would suit an eerie scene of a horror movie. The spoken vocals are impressive. I liked this one too!  Semool: Bizarre. Underneath the pleasant tones, I sensed an uncanny tension. Like the person in the cover, it feels like having an odd daydream. Really, very interesting if not outright eerie.dauinghorn - Popol Vuh: I like this band, and this is a really nice song by 'em. Psychedelic Paul: Comus... an obvious choice indeed, that I'm already familiar with. Curved Air - Phantasmogaria. I checked the title track, and I want to believe that you don't really deem it as eerie.  The Wicker Man and its sounctracks... Absolutely love 'em!chopper - Tool is the epitome of uninterestingness in music, for me. someone_else - Tusmorke: A good band (except for how its name sounds) and a good song. I wouldn't call it eerie, though. Planxty: Not eerie but AWESOME. I'll probably dig this band. I remember hearing of them, but haven't given a proper listen. (I surely know this ballad.) Thanks everyone! |

Haven't played this in years but......pretty creepy....Goblin doing the sound track for 'Suspiria'. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

An individual track by Espers...cover of a BOC tune...it's creepy again in an atmospheric way. One of my favorite weird prog folk bands...sadly now defunct. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

That's my favourite song by Espers, mainly because I'm a big fan of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_%C3%96yster_Cult" rel="nofollow - Blue Öyster Culttoo.

I was gonna say, "The cover is beautiful and haunting,", and in fact I'm still saying that even though the haunting ghost went mad through the end. Naughty naughty ghost!..

Hi, I'm kinda scared to post my ideas ... since a lot of the things here, merely have a "title" to make you think of this or that ... and to me, music is not a title ... it's an experience that is intrinsic and indicative of the completeness of the sounds that made the piece ... and the title is usually not even close. I'm a writer ... I understand this really well ... it's super easy to trap someone into thinking it is about this and that ... and it is something else altogether. BTW, I find NOTHING eerie about Klaus Schulze and any of his albums ... a couple of far out or strange moments here and there (Sebastiam in Traum), but all in all it's clearly obvious that he is experimenting with something and it comes out like that ... and the feeling is not idealistic and neither is it related to the "title" and is a part of the flow of the music! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

Some of quieter parts of VdGG - Pawn Hearts are quite eerie, but Pawn Hearts is much more than eerie music. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Check out some Igor Wakhevitch. Logos and Docteur Faust are very eerie indeed...but perhaps not in the way you would expect  Kluster’s Klopfzeichen is another one that to me feels very eerie. It’s back-story though is literally perplexing to say the least..and makes the whole experience that more strange. Oranssi Pazuzu’s latest couple of albums may also qualify. The few people I’ve played this to felt the band, and especially the vocals, gave off this eerie menacing vibe. Personally I do get where they’re coming from, but I hear more of a Nordic Navajo metal going down, which at times plays upon these eerie grooves and almost shamanistic black metal vocals. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I forgot about the most obvious one actually: Current 93’s Dogs Blood Rising. That is indeed a highly eerie affair. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |
