I‘m looking for some eerie background music while playing an immersive game called Arkham Horror, based on the stories of H.P. Lovecraft.

The stories are settled in the 20s, so I‘d love to listen to some sad, slow, creepy, eerie background music. I‘d prefer no singing. Maybe a small trio, bass, piano, drums.

Although I‘m playing a horror game, the music shouldn‘t distract me by sudden loud sounds, or disturbing noises, effects or sth like that.

Do you know albums/playlists on Apple Music that offer this kind of experience?

Thanks a lot!

There's a genre of jazz called noir/dark jazz that might be what you're looking for, or at least come close to it.

Here are some band suggestions:

  • Bohren & der Club of Gore
  • The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble
  • The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation
  • Heroin and Your Veins
