The Art of Darkness

Because “Lovecraft” and “Bluegrass” Go Together So Naturally

November 14th, 2011 by Cobwebs

Back to Lovecraft is an album of H.P. Lovecraft’s poetry, set to bluegrass music, by four Corsican artists. You guys, I couldn’t make this stuff up.

    It’s the French accent that tops it off.

    If only David E. Edwards had been involved. I’d buy it without hearing a note of it.

    If you can’t hear the South in it, it’s not Southern; and if it isn’t creepy, it isn’t Lovecraft.

    @rahnefan: I think many Southern things are inherently creepy, so maybe this is a really good combination…

    You know, you probably could make it up, you’d just need a two really good lists of nouns: vampire, Lovecraft, zombies; bluegrass, picnic, breakfast. Then just mix-and-match!

    don’t get me wrong, i’m saying the concept is not inherently bad, not as odd a combo as you might think; i just can’t hear “it” in the samples i heard. your mileage may vary.
