I’ve been making my way through the wonderful Ghost of an Idea: Hauntology, Folk Horror and the Spectre of Nostalgia (William Burns). Lovely discoveries as I float through a summer haze, cueing up tunes matching the vibe. I’ve captured the film recommendations in a letterboxd list here boxd.it/I4R8i
