Twin Tribes ~ Shadows [2⊘18]

Twin Tribes’ ‘Shadows’ is ostensibly a kidnapping/snuff video set to an anthemic 80s-era new wave gothic soundtrack. Not for naught, or is it? These aren’t supposed vampires, they have no sharply-elongated canines to speak of and so the entire video endeavor seems driven by a coldly craven lust for murder power. A savage depiction of blood lust horror, wet raw, well-done, and tastefully end-credit-sated. “This time of night feels like … Continue reading Twin Tribes ~ Shadows [2⊘18]

The Presets ~ My People [2⊘⊘7]

“Tall and tan and young and lovely,” the first verse perhaps beginning a brief homage to the Brazillian bossa nova jazz song, “The Girl from Ipanema,” itself a worldwide hit of the 1960s referencing the fashionable neighborhood of southern Rio de Janeiro and (then) seventeen-year-old, Helô Pinheiro. She was, “the paradigm of the young Carioca: a golden teenage … Continue reading The Presets ~ My People [2⊘⊘7]

Fragrance. ~ Crawling To The Void [2⊘19]

Groove-drenched for enhanced danceability, ‘Crawling To The Void” is a gentle if affable invitation to a façade-hidden abyss of hyper-synesthesia. The song a spellbinding shimmery concoction of witch’s brew mixed Love Potion #9 and the second to be served here behind luscious song ‘Heatwave’. “I’m falling in a void, If you’re coming for some more, If you crawl and dance, You could see me across, You should dance again, Oh yeah, dance … Continue reading Fragrance. ~ Crawling To The Void [2⊘19]
