It also unpacks the conceptual forces that shape it--from nostalgia and retro culture to fractured temporal experience--while covering key artists and labels such as Ghost Box, The Caretaker, and Mordant Music. With a dedicated focus on audiovisual hauntology, this book provides new clarity on a musical form attuned to the strange echoes of modern life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJamie Sexton\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor in film and television studies at Northumbria University.
