Poltergeist

About

Poltergeist is an experimental music project operating within the industrial and dark ambient underground scenes. The project's discography, though limited, demonstrates a commitment to atmospheric and textural sound design characteristic of the avant-garde cassette culture of the 1990s. Their 1994 release "Desecrated Flowers" on Anomalous Records established their presence in the experimental underground, while subsequent releases "Rak" and "Haunted Heart" on Unified Fields furthered their exploration of abstract sonic territories. The project's output reflects broader trends in noise and dark ambient music, favoring conceptual titles and limited-edition formats typical of cassette-based independent releases. Poltergeist's work contributes to the legacy of lo-fi experimental production and DIY distribution networks that defined underground electronic music during the 1990s and beyond. Their releases remain sought after within collector circles dedicated to obscure industrial and ambient recordings.
