Songs that creep you out
 
What songs have you found to give you a very creeped out feeling?

Mine would be:

the Immediate Stages of the Erotic-Mars (I have no idea what the hell is happening in that song, I just know I don't want to be a part of it)

Gang-Swans (that slow, growling rhythm and Gira murmuring "hammer the nail, hammer the nail" creep me out. Hearing that song is like being out in a boat on a foggy night, and seeing a ship full of ghosts pass right by you)

Pretty much everything on Locust Abortion Technician by the Butthole Surfers creeps the shit out of me. You just try driving in the dark with that thing on.

There was also a Khanate song (or was it Sunn O))) that was quite creepy. It was one in which it sounded like there was a monster on the loose?

Torching Koroviev - Khanate, indeed!

It's a very frightful song, and Khanate were the first sludge band I ever got into, so when I first heard them I was 15 with the lights off, and it was intense! That song and Wold - L.O.T.M.P are my most frightening at the moment, with lack of more choices at this time in the morning.

"Dead Hills 2" by Wolf Eyes made me physically recoil when i first listened to it. i've grown to love that feeling.

there is a song by the melvins that really made feel creepy. i cant remember the name of it but it had chains and piano in it.

i suppose some boris is quite creepy in a way. but the worst i ever heard was britney spears.

A Thousand Threads 03.30.2007 03:29 AM

Just what I was going to say. I clearly remember the first time I listened to it. Disturbing is the word.

Almost anything by Whitehouse...

The last track on the new deerhoof cd, there is this eerie'ness, then loud stikes at a diminished chord, dissonance rings out, like some demented church bell from the depths of hell. It made me shriek as I was listening to it in the darkness of night in bed, I was expecting to open my eyes and see the boogie man at my side.

Shipper 03.30.2007 01:24 PM

I don't know about creeped out, but Clean It Up by Butthole Surfers always makes me feel uncomfortable. If we were talking about videos, then the part in the No-one Knows vid, where the deer kind of sneers at the camera.

Trasher02 03.30.2007 01:42 PM

This performance scares the hell out of me.

yep, def Clean It Up. Can't listen to it.

the ikara cult 03.30.2007 01:50 PM

Another Swans song, Your Property. It seems to start off nasty and get worse as it goes along.
