Scary Mansion - “Every Joke Is Half The truth” (Zum Records, Jan. 22)
I don’t think this is ever going to become a full fledged post so instead I’ll keep it brief. There’s a new record, actually the debut, from Scary Mansion. Some are calling Every Joke Is Half The Truth anti-folk but actually it’s much weirder and more somber. I get a decidedly more fim-noir impression from these songs.
Others have written up the new album including Music For Robots, Shake Your Fist, and Getecho (RIP). So check those posts out for bio info and more sublime ruminations (esp. SYF).
We’re all sharing different songs, however the two I have below are guilt-free and legal courtesy of the pr company behind the record. Enjoy!
