On 2 February 1933, French maids Lea and Christine Papin killed their employer's wife Mme Lancelin and her daughter with a kitchen knife, a hammer, and a pewter pot. Before offing them, they had beaten the two beyond recognition and gouged out Mme Lancelin's and one of her daughter's eyes. The Papin sisters made no attempt at escaping from the scene of the crime and were found cuddling naked in a bed upstairs as if nothing had happened.
Here's a photo collage of the creepy-looking sisters (authentic pictures as well as stills from a movie about them):

I really took a liking to the song that's playing in the clip.
The band is called Steeleye Span, who were a bunch of English folk rockers in the late 60s and early 70s. I downloaded some of their stuff and found nothing that resembled the atmosphere of this song. Everything else sounds like pub music from the olden days or something you'd expect to hear at a medieval street market.
So I'm asking you: do you know of any other band or any other songs or albums that have an atmosphere similar to this? Mysterious, subtly sexual, a bit spooky, possibly with a bit of pagan mumbo-jumbo?
Just to give you another hint what kind of vibe I would be looking for, here's Britt Ekland's famous 'Willow Song' from the Wicker Man movie:
