Music to Be Disturbed By
Nine Inch Nails have surprise-released a pair of instrumental sequels to the band’s 2008 instrumental series Ghosts: Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts. It’s all available to download for free via the NIN website.
I got such a chuckle out of this: "The new installments in the Ghosts series come 12 years after the release of Ghosts I-IV, a collection of dark ambient pieces released under a Creative Commons license; the album received an unexpected resurgence over a decade later after the track '34 Ghosts IV' was heavily sampled in Lil Nas X’s 'Old Town Road,' resulting in a Country Music Awards win for Trent Reznor." I did not know!
I'm currently listening to the eight-song Ghosts V: Together and 15-track Ghosts VI: Locusts on YouTube. Locusts is a mostly eerie experience so far, while Together sounds somewhat happier. Somewhat.
Maybe I should play Ghosts VI: Locusts loudly out my window when the road crew starts loudly and noisily dismantling my block at 6:30 am for the fourth time this week.
Edit 2:51 am: I can't get the download for the albums from the NIN site to work. I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, you can listen as you like on YouTube. A friend mentions that some of the songs have pitches that might not make your ears happy if you have earphones or pods piping the music directly into them.

Although I hear that Trent isn't a fan of this older song and video, I am. Together, they make a whole-ass gothic mood. (Warning, there is a part of this video that flashes, so if you're sensitive to that you might want to avoid it.)
While the mashup of this song and Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" is a rather different mood.
