If you are a frequent voyeur here, you would know that US band, Who Saw Her Die?, are avid horror fans, where that love bleeds, extensively, into their music, and they often mark certain occasions with a release. They celebrated Friday the thirteenth with an EP called Circling.
The EP is made up of three original tracks and three remixes, and it all kicks off with “Circling Around Us” which immediately makes me think of JAWS, the movie that made a generation decide swimming pools were a safer option, whilst warily keeping an eye on the waters when near the sea. The lyrics about being pulled under, salt and splintering wood make it feel even more certain we are being stalked by the great white shark, and the drum machine clatters on without remorse, as the vocals powerfully echo and paint the impending doom.
“Showing You More” is possibly Evil Dead, though I am no expert on the horror genre, however, the track itself has a more post-punk flavour and the rhythm has an interesting squelching sound. The vocals are clear and haunting about the book that cannot be destroyed. This is definitely a dancefloor scorcher. The final track before the three remixes, is “The Price,” and I really couldn’t tell you where this is tale of ancient creeping evil, invading the minds of the forlorn is from, but it spins like it is possessed.
Pick your terror, for it does not have to be Friday the 13th in order to enjoy these excerpts of dark delight, and should you feel something is watching you from the shadows, maybe it is just Who Saw Her Die? as they are Circling…..
