Music For Night Walking

So over the summer I have realized that many albums sound so many times rbetter at night, like rdamn. Here's what I listen to on nightwalking journeys. rUnfortunately school starts on the Third rso I won't be able to do this as roften, but whatever.
1Burial
Untrue


Holy, before I listened to this while walking at night alone I just passed it off as
slightly above average. But this album just breaths the loneliness, and slight
paranoia with walking in the dark under streetlights. Listen while coming home
slightly depressed after a shitty party and stop in a McDonalds and cry. (UK
Garage)
2 Carissa's Wierd
Songs About Leaving


Downtrodden and full of regret, all enhanced after dark. (Slowcore)
3Vangelis
Blade Runner Soundtrack


Works especially well if you've seen the film. (Dark Ambient)
4DJ Shadow
Endtroducing.....


The trip-hop classic sounds like it was made for being listened to at night. (Trip-Hop)
5Slowdive
Souvlaki


Shoegaze usually doesn't work for this kind of atmosphere but Soulaki just has a
sound of longing that fits. (Shoegaze)
6Gris
Il Etait une Foret...


Most black metal is great night listening but the emotions on Gris just get amplified
to new heights at night. (Depressive Black Metal)
7Julia Holter
Loud City Song


Fantastic, dreamy indie pop(?) record from this year ~~~~~~~~ (Ambient Pop, or
something)
8cLOUDDEAD
cLOUDDEAD


Odd stream of conscious lyrics compete with trance like ambient beats. (Abstract
Hip-hop)
9Grimes
Visions


"And now the walk about, after dark
It's my point of view
If someone could break your neck
Coming up behind you, always coming and you'd never have a clue" Spooky (Indie
Pop)
10Godspeed You! Black Emperor
F#A# (Infinity)


This makes you feel like you're the only one alive at night. (Post-Rock)
11Ensemble Pearl
Ensemble Pearl


Great Drone/Ambient album from this year, full of drones and dark atmospheres
(Drone, Ambient)
12Crystal Castles
Crystal Castles


A bit more poppy than the rest of the list, but the hard bass sounds and minor
melodies surprisingly makes for a good night listen. (Synthpop)
13American Football
American Football


Get emo, get sad. (Emo)
14Van der Graaf Generator
Godbluff


Dark minimalistic prog. (Progressive Rock)
15Whirr
Around


Another Shoegaze release, this one is a bit darker than their other releases, and
feels nostalgic and stuff. (Shoegaze)
16Joy Division
Closer


(Post-Punk)
17Solid Space
Space Museum


Some Lo-fi space inspired post-punk, sounds lonely like space. (Post-Punk)
18Grouper
The Man Who Died in His Boat


This year's Grouper album is seriously one of my favourite ambient albums ever, her
reverb laden acoustic guitar chords topped by her haunting voice is just perfect
sitting by a stream in the dark. (Ambient)
19Massive Attack
Mezzanine


Pulsing bass, and light vocal samples. (Trip-Hop)
20Mogwai
Happy Songs For Happy People


Sad Songs for Sad People. (Post-Rock)
21The Haxan Cloak
Excavation


This year's 2spooky4me album, I didn't really get this until I got scared as hell
listening to it at night. (Dark Ambient)
22R.E.M.
Automatic For The People


I used to listen to this a ton when I was younger, but only really came to
appreciate it until now. (Alt-Rock, Sad)
