Night Clerk Radio: Haunted Music Reviews

Dark Ambient and Noir Jazz

Episode Summary

In this episode, we’re diving into the world of Noir, film or otherwise, to discuss how it has evolved from cynical post-war artistic movement to bland genre pastiche. The modern euphemism for this process is “becoming a vibe.” We focus this discussion on two albums that express the range of noir-influence in music from richly textured dark ambient to abrasive noise jazz.
