We begin this FREAKS ONLY recap with a philosophical quandary: If reports of mall Christmas tree sightings arrive in September, can an October spooky season truly exist? The answer is yes, but primarily because of Claude VonStroke's adrenaline pumping, pitch-dark new single with Barry Drift — “The Creeps.” Hear it here, alongside Nala’s slowburn reimagination of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs & Moullinex's euphoric single, "So Alive."
And a new one from Claude VonStroke to get you in the Halloween mood.
