Of all the holidays, none seem to generate more creative musicianship than that of Halloween. This year’s epic spook band is The Marshmallow Ghosts, a super-group of sorts featuring artists from Black Moth Super Rainbow, Appleseed Cast, Casket Girls, and Dreamend. Shrieks is the title of this holiday 7″ on a swirling picture disc and limited print glow-in-the-dark sleeve. Part story, part collection of created sound effects, part eerie ghastly, uncanny music, this is the song to have on repeat as this year’s October 31 rolls around. And the video is its perfect accompaniment.

You can snag this little gem over at Graveface Records.
