As 6 Music 'Goes Dark', Nick Zinner of Yeah Yeah Yeahs takes over the Forever Dark reins for a Halloween special, featuring Cocteau Twins, Swans, Siouxsie And The Banshees and more.

Nick formed Yeah Yeah Yeahs with Karen O and Brian Chase in 2000. They've gone on to become a critically acclaimed and hugely successful alternative rock act and have released five studio albums to date.

Forever Dark is 6 Music's weekly exploration of dark music across all genres and eras. The music you hear is predominantly sonically dark but also delves into dark content and lyrics. Each genre has dark elements within it and this programme attempts to reach across this broad, wonderful and powerful spectrum of music. Come join us on the dark side, where all are welcome.
