Les Arbres slow horses
Slow horses season 4 ost has a track called "Les arbres". It has this dark ambient, droning, faint beat playing and it appears somewhere near the end of s4e5. I can't describe it but it really scratches my brain and it sounded like a blend of drone, dark ambient and darkwave to me (I listen to a lot of drone personally). Any ideas on tracks/genres that have similar vibes?
Here's the scene in particular, fair warning there's MAJOR spoilers in here if you haven't seen slow horses season 4 yet:
The beat in particular occurs at the very start of the scene.

45 codes for IDYLLS OF THE LAST KING - Dungeon Drone
Good day everyone,
Here are 45 codes to the 2021 full-length "Dungeon Drone".
As the name suggests, this album sets off to explore what seems to be familiar dungeon-synth territory but then also veers into dark ambient, oppressive drone pieces, but also fantastically up-lifting fantasy synth (for lack of a better term) pieces that flirt with the Berlin school of electronic music.
In short, a rich and emotional journey for those of you who are willing to test the dungeon's depths. Enjoy!

Sky Lore - The Witches of Benevento. My new dark ambient meets dungeon synth album
Once upon a time in the ancient city of Benevento stood a walnut tree where witches would meet. On sabbath nights, they would anoint either their armpits or breasts with ointment, recite magic words, and ride their brooms to the walnut tree. There, the witches would dance, feast, have orgies with demons, and practice their evil magic under the shade of the tree. Some of their common tricks include causing pregnant mothers to miscarry, making babies come out deformed, and riding stolen horses all night until the animals could run no more.
The only way to protect yourself against the witches was to leave either a broom or some salt by the door. The witch would have to count all the broom's fibers and all the grains of salt before entering the house. By the time they finished counting, dawn would break and the witches had to go back home, leaving the person safe...for now.
