Bob Drake: "The Skull Mailbox and Other Horrors" 
2001 ReR Megacorp

It's me playing and singing lots of short songs about hauntings, shrieking statues, evil plants, doomed seances, accursed portraits, unmentionable entities, madness, things worse than death and so on. It's quite funny. Instrumentally centered around nylon stringed acoustic guitar and a cheap, air-powered electric organ, accompanied by electric guitar, bass, drums and violin. I recorded most of it in a big empty barn with just a few microphones to get a raw, naturally reverberant sound along with occasional noises from outside (birds, wind, dogs, farm machinery...)
A review.

Here are four complete songs in mp3 format:
The Skull Mailbox - and - The Tower
Crepuscular Vestibule - and - You Still Can't Outwit That Thing

BD: all instruments, voices, engineering etc.
