Sometimes All It Takes to Ease Your Mind...

I like the moody swirl of this one. It returns the theremin from light textural doodling right back to its horror-movie roots, but also works in a lullabye lilt via the vocal melodies. (And that’s a hell of a nice voice, too.)

• Lost in the Trees, “Walk Around the Lake”

It’s from a companion CD for Esopus #8, which, hey kids, also includes a new Final Fantasy track. (According to the Esopus website, each song riffs on e-mail spam, this one in particular on an ink-cartridge message, which you can kind of see in the first couple lines.)
