Nocturnal Sunshine featuring Catnipp “Down by the River”

It sounds as though Maya Jane Coles made the main keyboard part in this song to be a deliberate anxiety trigger. I certainly can’t hear it without feeling some kind of fight-or-flight instinct kicking in, or feeling trapped in some difficult situation. Catnipp’s vocals on this track taps into that vibe, and pushes into into a scenario in which sexiness and danger blur together, and the threat of violence is both terrifying and truly exciting. This is extremely bleak music, but it’s hard to deny its sexiness and strange gravity.
