Zombina and the Skeletones
In Sinistereo
(9x9 Records)
Last month, guitarist/singer Doc Horror explained to Joyzine: "The impetus behind recording Zombina and the Skeletones' In Sinistereo in the first place was the enormous backlog of unused songs that we’d amassed over the years. Old demos that we loved and always intended to eventually flesh out, but would get passed-over every time we would start recording a new record…"
Though researchers have repeatedly fed these tracks through arcane computerized processes, they remain baffled as to why any were ever discounted. A Horror Punk/Psychobilly graft with Power Pop intuitions, majestic countenance, and arched eyebrows throws back its ebony cape. Mysteriously abandoned songs' compilation in this "quadrilogy" (combined are all tracks from four previous In Sinistereo EPs) totals positive product.
Though dire atmospherics hang like cobwebs, and despite darkness, airs dance entrancingly. Fetching melodies unfurl in spectacle, unleashing mesmeric mistiness whose capacities derive from synth/monster beat/guitar aggressions channeled by calculation. Vocals at once winsome and chilling sound sirens bewitching. And, a smirk playing about his mouth, Baron Von Saxophone sidles from hidden passages' cover.
Rather than squandering energies with laboratory thingamajigs, the eggheads should have shuttered windows and unearthed any Maila Nurmi broadcast.
