“Where the Spook Light Glows” is the consonance between exemplary gothic country and dark, spelaean garage rock and rockabilly. The ritual drug organ, disquieting guitar, and repetitive rhythm section bring the obscurity and dampness of the backwoods. “I have a secret bloody and bare. Under the watchful moon I buried it there.” The vocalist indifferently recites the chilling and terrifying lyrics based on the story of spree killer Charles Starkweather’s mass-murdering road trip. This atmospheric piece is skillfully filled with evil and bleak romance and mystery.
