Creepy Music

Of late I have been listening to music that I can only describe as creepy. Some would call it ambient, moody, dark, etheric, whatevs, it's actually creepy, especially when being listened to through headphones which I do at work a lot. Explosions in the Sky is very guilty of creepiness but then the next song will be nothing short of beautiful and uplifting and will make you want to dance a jig in the street so you feel quite conflicted. Cursive are very creepy as well. Anything with fast whispering vocals in the background or a series of dischordant riffs littered with silence should come with a warning so you don't find yourself listening to it at work drinking a coffee during a nice quiet bit and then fucken BAM! some crashing cymbals and the same line of lyrics repeated and you have almost hit the roof and have coffee all over the desk. I am jumpy as hell at the moment mind you. Its due to Vitamin B deficiency which happens when you have been hitting the piss too much. You find yourself getting jumpy at the littlest stuff like TV commercials or something falling off a cupboard and you know it's time to hit the Mega B's. That shit will smooth you out within a couple of hours.
