Droning soundscapes. Swirling undertones. Percolating noise. This is the soundtrack to which many of my stories take shape.
I have a list of go-to bands that work perfectly for writing mode. So while there may be a similar thread to the stories I write, it's cool that each one has its own personality, even though many have been born under the same musical score.
If my current story had a soundtrack, it would include whipping wind against rusted metal, dripping water into murky puddles and the rustling of shapes in translucent shrouds.
I hope it gives readers a sense of foreboding and wilts their spirit so they have to sleep with one eye open 
What are you listening to these days? How does it effect your writing? If you could compile the perfect soundtrack to your current #WIP, what would it be and why?

Mary’s eerie tales inspire in readers the urge to double-check the deepest, darkest closets, to peer anxiously under the creakiest of beds, and to always sleep with the lights on.
Currently there’s a lot of Depeche Mode, Cure, Dead can Dance, Faith & the Muse, Collide and Android Lust on my listening list for the WIP. One of the characters has more of an edgy personality so, there’s a smattering of punk & post-punk music mixed in.
For me there’s a main mix for atmosphere, then sub lists for characters.
