Found The Horrors through Spotify late this year. Launched the program and there they were on the front page. To be honest, the album art is what drew me in. I have no shame in that though as I have found a ton of my favorite artists by the look of their albums. Anyway, I [...]

A major flashback on my list, this track reminds me of nights spent hanging out with friends at my favorite little Goth club in Hollywood. This Belgian band had marginal success in the mid 80’s alternative scene and while they incorporate some of the usual industrial trappings into their sound, it’s very different than the [...]
This track reminds me of what I fell in love with in 90′s digital musicians like Aphex Twin and Mum. In fact while listening to this track as I type in those bands names, I have flashes of the mystery and intrigue that they used to fill me with as I would bask in their music in the [...]
Again feeling late to the party, this song was a recent discovery for me on one of the many trips my wife and I took this year. While walking through the Height Ashbury we stopped into a crazy little sock shop and this song filled my head and sparked my interest. I couldn’t tell you [...]

Kitchens of Distinction have long been on the list of possibilities for Fruitcake selection, but never seem to make the cut. I had planned on saving them for the 80′s Fruitcake back in 2008 only to then remember that they were in fact a 90′s band. This song was what I wanted to close that [...]
