80s GOTH & DARKWAVE Instrumental Music | 20 Tracks from an Alternate 1981 - 1988

Twenty instrumental excursions into the darker side of the 1980s. This Lorephonic collection draws on gothic rock, darkwave, coldwave, and post-punk, imagining the music of an alternate England between 1981 and 1988. From “Reliquary Tuesday” to “Etherea,” the titles trace a landscape of chalk cliffs, strange encounters, subterranean silences, and uneasy beauty. An instrumental soundtrack for October, late-night reading, creative work, or listening closely in the dark.
