Burn Witch Burn
Creepy craftsmen offer their take on Celtic-meets-Friday the 13th, incorporating shards of recorder, tin whistle, melodeon, hurdy-gurdy, banjolin, and bazookie (whatever that is) in their suspenseful, acoustic-bred horror-folk. Ominous in a Violent Femmes' "Country Death Song" sort of way, acoustic guitars (played by the Hooligans' Bill Ferguson) and mandolin twinkle and toll forebodingly like church bells at midnight, while Lounge Lizards' bassist Steve Piccolo's thick, tonal notes match the drummer's pulsing, jazz-tuned kick drum. Dead Milkmen's Rodney Linderman takes vocal credit, narrating rather than singing these dark, eclectic tales: "Cold rain fell like a heavy black curtain / The future was unwritten / Nothing was certain...Jimmy found a dog in the road / Only one eye and skin like a toad." Wonderfully dark and peculiar.
