The Daily Choice: Vampire Hands - Safe Word
I’ve been hankering to see this band Waavves for a while now, and when I found out they were playing on Monday I got a bit tingly. And when I get tingly I get sort of OCD and start acquiring every bit of information and piece of music I can possibly find to prepare me for the upcoming event. Thus, I’m digging through the back catalogs of the openers for the show and stumble upon Vampire Hands, a positively fantastic little goth-y psych rock band that well, I wanted to share with you.
This is Black Angels but bereft of the swaggering pulse, replaced with a sort of sad-eyed dirge. It makes me think Southern Gothic for some reason, huge columns festered with mold but surrounded by pale-faced debutantes teetering at the edge of a world that no longer exists. It’ll get under your skin, it’ll fill the space behind your eyeballs, and you’ll have to breath and breath deep to get it out.
