This collection of tracks is actually a really great start to November, which goes to show that despite the year winding down there’s still plenty of quality new music to enjoy. Let’s start with a fresh one from Art Feynman (aka Luke Temple/Here We Go Magic), then slide into The Pains of Being Pure at Heart’s cover of a Tom Petty classic, and get loud with a killer new song from band to watch Spielbergs. Cruise on past the jump for even more music from the likes of AxMod, Claire George, Dehd, Hayden James (ft. Running Touch), L.A. Witch, Morgan Page & Swanky Tunes, Nanami Ozone, Royal Canoe, and THEY. (ft. Jessie Reyez).

This is technically the “Halloween” edition of Pick Your Poison, even though none of the songs sound scary or have terrifying lyrics. I suppose there aren’t a lot of legitimate Halloween songs (outside of “Thriller” and “Monster Mash”), but there are usually a few original holiday tunes that get sent to me by random bands and artists around this time of year. They are in short supply in 2018, perhaps because everything that’s happening in the world today is scary enough on its own. Anyway, try to act terrified when listening to some pretty great new tracks from Big Twins, Chicago’s own Lightfoils, and Young Fathers. Cross over the jump and check out some more monstrous songs from Baby FuzZ, JUTES, Krafty Kuts & Dynamite MC, Loyal Lobos, MOSSS, Noah & Shagabond, OWEL, Prismo, and ShadowHood. Booooo!

Big Twins – Phantom of the Opera

Lightfoils – This Time Is Up

Young Fathers – Cocoa Sugar
