Oakland-based band with a mix of gothic and other dark and sullen sounds. Lots of tribal drumming. The vocals are an odd but interesting mix of Siouxie Sioux and Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney. This mix doesn’t work everytime but generally it’s a pretty compelling blend. ((((1))) Varied drumming, goth-y vox, minimal keyboard patterns. (((2))) Bahaus-like beat, creepy tempo, the vocals are too focus on annoying, scathing high-notes. (((((3))))) Up beat, driving new-waveish darkness. Sioxie meets X-Ray Spex. Excellent! (((4))) Slow, murky, early 80’s British sound namely: The Cure, Cocteau Twins and Sisters of Mercy ((((5)))) Trippy, slow movie soundtrackish, poetic/spoken lyrics, broken up scattered noises, percussion. (((6))) Slow, meandering, so-so vocals. (((7))) Winding, strummy, (FCC “Shit” sung twice) ((((8)))) Bleak & moody, slooow strums, pretty close to locals Neither, Neither World. (((I(9)))) Noisy guitar, bassy backbone, campy yet dark keyboards. Bombastic chorus. | ||
