The line between childlike imagination and unvarnished horror is one London’s maryinthejunkyrd skip over merrily on their new EP, This Old House. The sweeping art-rock “Marble Arch” conjures images of lonely nights and frayed sisterly relationships. The desperate longing of adolescence can also be felt above the gothic waltz of “Teeth”.

There is a rabid nature to “Ghost,” too, and not just because the band howl some of the backing vocals. Clari Freeman-Taylor describes that song as being initially written while she was “obsessed with moths” but is more reflective of moving to the city and “enjoying the freedom” she desired as a teen. The band cite Joanna Newsom and Leonard Cohen as influences, though the fantastical darkness of a director Guillermo Del Toro or novelist Shirley Jackson feels just as apt a reference point.
