San Francisco outfit
Spooky Mansion
grabbed my attention
last year
after releasing
one of my favorite
EPs of recent memory:
It's still getting
spins around
these parts.
Even more recent,
back in April,
the group released
their debut LP
Alright.
The ten song
album is more
energized, electrified
with surf rock
and cigarette piles
forming in humid garages.
It's a house party
that lasts for a few
months.
“Torture” is the jam,
“Fox” is the slow dance,
and “My Gun”
is the one I can't
get out of my head.
The world needs
Spooky ambient
whale calls.
It's also worth
noting that
Spooky Mansion
(who did some production
put me on
to the band
Sandy's, who also
released an album
this year, and whose
song “I and I”
deserves all
of the love
in the world.
