Today's play

Hope y'all all had a thoroughly spooky hollereen! I've got a bunch of things new and "new" stockpiled for this weeks' show: a bunch of 45s, new Beware the Dangers of a Ghost Scorpion, Hypnotzar, Moms I'd Like to Surf... how are these all band names?

See y'all at 4pm Central time, just click the link to the right.

As for what I played last week:

10/26/15: HOLLEREEN

Black Flamingos - Black Flamingos EP

This one almost slipped by me until the Coffin Daggers posted about them after playing their release show. After a listen to the soundcloud songs below, it's kinda got the wild, somewhat showy guitar playing of Ramblin' Ambassadors but in more of a spooky horror way. Real tight 3-some, love how it all fits together on "Devil's Punchbowl".

The Sloptones - Low Tide EP

Russia's The Sloptones know how to make a Halloween EP; they released a good one last year. But despite the Halloween release date, they went in the opposite direction this time with a dialed-down quiet record. No wall-of-sound here, drums kept to a level that won't bug the neighbors, and bass designed to keep your foot tapping but legs otherwise at rest.

Hypnotzar - Hypnotzar EP

Despite the near-Halloween relaese date, this isn't much of a horror-surf record, though it does have an air of mystery to it. Man... or Astro-Man? is definitely a bit of a jump-off point here with with similar dark tones, sound clips, and "extra" sounds abound (one member plays "extra guitar", percussion and keyboards). But all of those parts come together really well and with a lot of creativity. I think this is definitely worth a listen!
