Big Blood 'Do You Wanna Have A Skeleton Dream' (Feeding Tube)
Well, freak folk family, Big Blood, cranked out another one. No not a another child! That's terrible to think of that term, in that way! Shheessh. Another Lp but their child appears on the record. This LP is my favorite in years. Cant really go wrong with any Big Blood LP, but this one is really special in my opinion. Vocalist, Colleen once spoke about her bandmate and husband, Caleb's tendency to take a dark subject and fit it with a pop tune. On 'Sugar' Colleen does that with a doo wop-esque melody. It's more like a call to be more compassionate in dire times. Shit. Loud and clear Colleen. Thank u. This record has a less busy sound than last year's 'Daughter's Union' LP. It works really well, if that's what u dig. As I said earlier their daughter has written her own tunes on this album; about a sly boy and some video game addicted peers. Keen tween this Quinn is. I identify as somewhat of an objective spiritual tourist, that being said, the religious label hugger of the B side stopped me in my tracks. Well stopped me in my Saturday morning pancake making. As a result, a few were overdone. No spoilers here though. Buy the record to hear it yourself folks. I am grateful for these friends. I am grateful for the at-least-yearly Big Blood transmission. A+.
