Tokyo Y​ō​kai

If you love a good ghost story, then look no further than the Japanese "yōkai". I've designed and nurtured the tracks on this album over the past year to deliver you a flavour of the classic Japanese ghost story. I hope there's much to delight and disturb you as you listen to the spectre collector's new offering - "Tokyo Yōkai".

The dark park

Get down and get creepy with “The dark park”. It’s toe-tappingly monstrous. It’s hellishly hummable and frighteningly FREE! It’s the 2nd single from the album “MONSTTERS” to be released end of September. You may never walk through a park at night again…

Transported Through Twilight

With his new 6-track album ‘Transported through twilight’, Ron Jon takes us to strange and distant shores by way of the duduk. This ancient double-reeded instrument is made of apricot wood and delivers a sad, warm, beautiful and smooth tone. The duduk is used in these songs to enhance their mystical moods.

"Old Dark"
I chose this lovely artwork by Louis-Léopold Boilly called "Tartini's Dream" for the album cover. There is something perversely comforting about having the devil play the violin to lull you to sleep and accompany you in your dreams.

"Cowboy clown in a meat suit"

This is the first in my series of lunatic lockdown albums! Each week for 5 weeks I’ll be releasing a new album for barely a farthing. This first one has a theme running through it.
Yes, there's a theme running through some of these uncomfortable tracks. I'm sure it's easy enough to figure out.

"PARASITES!"

This is the first in my series of lunatic lockdown albums! Each week for 5 weeks I’ll be releasing a new album for barely a farthing. This first one has a theme running through it.

Demons Like Us

*** For these micro-horrors the spectre collector went back to basics. Nothing too tricky, too fancy. Keep them short, sharp and creepy.

Father Fungi

In these two brief new spectral tales, a priest proves to be more just your average father and a dream house suddenly comes on the market.

Mother Spectre's Cursery Rhymes



These are not sweet rhymes for the kiddies.

There are no jolly dancing pigs here, no cows that jump over moons and certainly no happily-ever-afters.

There is just the dimly lit world of Mother Spectre’s Cursery Rhymes.

The album is out now on Bandcamp!
