Wednesday Is For Goth Lovers

In honor of World Goth Day, today we bring you a Hump Day selection of old, new, and unconventional goth songs. Kick back, put on your Doc Martens, light up a clove cigarette, and enjoy.

A multi-hyphenate talent who writes fiction in addition to acting and singing, Alison crafts hypnotic, literary-tinged pop music that wouldn't feel out of place in a playlist among Lykke Li, Bat for Lashes, and The Knife. You can catch her i…
