Subtle Creepy Blues

[Brandon Cruz]

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some simple blues or any other acoustic oriented music that involves a lot tritone and or other dissonant/atonal chords that give off an unnerving vibe. Something in the vein of:

The only other artist I have heard that is similar is maybe Jandek.

[Gabriel Lopez]

John Fahey is exactly who you're looking for.

[Aiden Barnes]

Not really acoustic, but look up Cab Calloway version of St James Infirmiry, but there's a nice old animation of it that adds to it.

[Michael Sanders]

Oh shoot,
Didn't see your post. Still, I recommend seeing the animation.
