Sixteen years ago, Shaboi released their one and only album Curse Walk. It’s 19 minutes, 10 songs and more genres than any album should reasonably be able to handle. It is, without a doubt or the slightest amount of hyperbole, The Greatest Halloween Album Ever Made.
I can safely say that over the last sixteen years, I have listened to this album hundreds of times. I can also confidently confirm that I will listen to it hundreds more as the years go on. The brief runtime mixed with the eclectic variety of styles ensures its place in Heavy Rotation; particularly during October.
Clearly there is bias here! Curse Walk was the fourth release from YK Records and that alone gives it a special place in the pantheon of releases. Fortunately, the music – not the nostalgia – is what makes this one stand the test of time.
Curse Walk is free to download on Ampwall and Bandcamp. It’s available on the all the streaming platforms as well. Enjoy it, save it, share it!
We also made t-shirts in case you really want to telegraph to the world that you’re a fan of the World’s Greatest Halloween Album.
