October is here, and Geographic North has unleashed its third Halloween compilation of ethereal and otherworldly sounds. A Little Night Music: Aural Apparitions from the Geographic North is a double cassette featuring more than two hours of music. London-based cellist Oliver Coates plays the part of Rod Serling on this trip into deep dark fringes of the ambient underworld. Coates’ “Them (Prologue)” featuring Malibu, and “Then There (Epilogue)” bookend 31 songs by artists from around the world, including Clarice Jensen, Fennesz, Mary Lattimore & Paul Sukeena, and more. On the Atlanta front, Algiers, Fit Of Body, Lotus Plaza, and the Geographic North House Band keep the ghostly ambiance in motion.
All proceeds from both digital and physical editions benefit Feminist Women’s Health Center, an Atlanta-based nonprofit providing safe, accessible, and compassionate abortion and gynecological care to all those who need it.
