You kind of cannot fuck with Shannon Funchess. She’s probably the best—or at least most interesting—vocalist in America right now, and pretty much everything she sings on turns to gold, so it’s particularly gratifying to have a whole album of her doing all kinds of freaky shit. She and bandmate Bruno Coviello clearly have a lot of favorite bands, but manage to one-up basically everything else out there. This is new and it’s great. Goth music has no right to be this smart. It’s deep, loud, and not all fussy or overdone. Music for people who actually aren’t afraid of the dark. This is vampire-pop and I hope it lives forever.
