Halloween song series #5: Throwing Snow - 'Aspera'

A Halloween series special today with posts dedicated to music that creates an uneasy, spooky, chilling or scary atmosphere… See Halloween for all posts in the series.

Some songs are ambiguous, instrumental songs don’t state their mood for example. Throwing Snow’s ‘Aspera’ is open to interpretation. It could either be the hazy lingering sound of something you’d rather forget or you may find joy in its beats packed like snow. Either way, the song serves as a respite for what comes next in the series…

It’s taken from Ross Tones’ Aspera EP out on is Snowfall label in December.
