Awesome Albums You Should Probably Listen To: Deadboy & The Elephantmen - We Are Night Sky

Some Guy here with his first Awesome Album You Should Probably Listen to on KBFWWSS! An AAYSPLT on KBFWWSS? That just sounds ridiculous. AAYSPLT on 2BGRM also sounded ridiculous but that didn’t stop me from doing so. I’ve noticed that Alan’s reviews are infinitely better than mine and are considerably lengthier. I don’t know how to feel about this, perhaps I should try to one up him? Nah, I’m going to keep doing what I do, write mediocre reviews of stuff on the internet.

I know Alan is supposed to be in charge of the indie rock stuff but I just couldn’t resist this one. Today we have Deadboy & the Elephantmen’s album We Are Night Sky. How is that for a band name? I actually think it’s kind of lame. And that ampersand? No, you just don’t do that. Ampersands in band names make things more confusing than they should be. Anyways I’m sure you are sick of my mindless rambling and would like to know something about what the band sounds like / is.

Deadboy & the Elephantmen is another project of Dax Riggs, formerly of sludge band Acid Bath and the bluesy Agents of Oblivion (And technically this band because they’re no longer together, now he just does solo stuff.). Dax plays the guitar and sings in that amazing baritone of his, while the incredibly hot Tessie Brunet handles drums and backup vocals. I could probably go on for a long time about how hot she is, but I’m not going to. Instead I’m going to comment about just how great this album is. It’s kinda hard to describe really. Dax’s (Hmmm that looks kind of stupid. How do you make something possessive if it ends with an x? Daxes? Dax’? I’m confused) guitar is tuned waaaaay down compared to that of the average indie rock band, creating a sort of stoner rock sound. Drumming is simple and won’t impress you, but Tessie is just so hot you won’t care. Lyrics are anything but typical for the genre; most of them are somehow related to death. Several tracks are a bit on the heavy side, a nod to Dax’s roots in extreme metal most likely.

Overall it’s just an interesting album / band. As with every other band Dax has been in, they only made two albums. His solo stuff is good but damn, it’s just not as good as this band (Or Agents of Oblivion or Acid Bath for that matter). He really needs to stop this whole “Let’s make an awesome band then only make an album or two!” thing.

You’ll love it. And if not well it’s not like you actually paid for it so just delete it from your hard drive and pretend like it never happened.
