i wrote a playlist article for Liquid Blackness, the black aesthetic studies journal published by Duke University Press! please go check it out. it's a collection of blurbs on songs that i think encapsulate the Afro-Gothic aesthetic tendency, as formulated by my fellow writers throughout the issue. many many thanks to the Liquid Blackness team for letting me contribute.
and here's a playlist of the songs included! listen as you read if you feel so inclined! one of the songs isn't on youtube, so here's a bandcamp link: https://b-l-a-c-k-i-e.com/track/while-they-try-to-kill-each-other
