DOWNLOAD: Mission Control - Chariots of Fire

Now that CMJ is over, we are gearing up for Halloween and seek eerie tracks to get us in the spooked-out mood. The Melbourne-based band Mission Control (not to be confused with the Boston-based band of the same name) is just that: shoe-gazey and sublime, eerie and ominous. Raph Brous whispers lyrics with intonation of a serial killer in a dark alley. The rest of the band use guitars like synths (and vice versa) to promote a futuristic, atmospheric tone. I think they describe it best by saying their first gig was a "Bladerunner soundtrack, Klaus Dinger, Vangelis and 80s Pink Floyd cut into the theme from Dr Who."

Sounds Like: Deerhunter, My Bloody Valentine, The Stone Roses, Ladytron
