CORPSEKISSER - Cry Laughing

"Corpsekisser began during the tumultuous and difficult summer of 2004. Inspired by the nostalgia soaked creepiness of child-voiced horror movie soundtracks (Amityville Horror, Poltergeist, _جø¬_1, 2, Freddys coming for you_جø¬_), the duo of Heather Anderson and Ethan Swan intended to document that year with sufficiently troubled songs. At times disembodied, at times frantic, their voices lurk among the sounds of glockenspiel, guitar, dollar-store keyboard and toy piano. After six years of DIY shows in Portland and New York, Corpsekisser is proud to release their debut record. Recalling the deliberated, mundane dread of the Shadow Rings early bedroom days or perhaps a zombie version of Brigitte Fontaine & Areskis musical wandering, _جø¬_Cry Laughing_جø¬_ is a haunted, opaque, and occasionally gentle LP. - Artist bio "The first release on a label is really an important, key move. It can set the tone for whats to come, and will no doubt be looked to for the roots of all successes or failures that follow it. Im pretty stoked to have the first thing to come out on the Life Like be 20 minutes of sound that truly makes you feel like youve gone crazy and cant remember the last time you werent insane. Corpsekisser encapsulates the mindset of the troubled child that doesnt want to feel better. You can hear parts of the so sick you feel euphoric sounds of early 90s Siltbreeze while the male/female tandem vocals and too-hazy-to-be-brutal recording calls to mind "Twin Infinitives" era Trux. AKA THIS RECORD IS FCKED AND AMAZING! Silkscreened and spraypainted covers and the blank side of the LP has spraypainted stencils of skeleton feet." - Life Like
