Playlist: Haunt

The third instalment of our popular Playlist project, featuring writers penning pieces about songs that mean something to them, accompanied by an EWF playlist. This year, the theme is ‘haunt’, and artists are invited to think about the music that haunts them: music connected to memories, music that feels ghostly, music that is spectral in that it feels like it dissolves barriers of time and space, or music that is downright spooky.
