"Stop, I'm Already Dead" comes from We Are Night Sky, the 2005 album by Deadboy & The Elephantmen, and it sounds like it was dragged up out of a swamp at midnight. Dax Riggs plays guitar and Tessie Brunet plays drums, and both of them sing, their voices tangling over a sound stripped down to almost nothing. Bruce Watson recorded it, and he had the sense to leave the grit in: the guitar buzzes and moans, the drums thud like a heartbeat under the floorboards, and the whole song feels haunted in the best possible way.
