Now that you’ve well-spent your $3.96, take a trip to your local record store and try this out:
Sunkfrancisco Frankenstance by The John Francis Impostors
Some visuals:
Sunkfrancisco Frankenstance is the result of ten offbeat songs given a copious treatment of Ilk’s inexorable drumming and Myke Tokarz’s Bibbity Bobbity Bass, with generous assistance from Nigel Pavao (piano), Jason Kocol (more piano), and Paul Slack (add’l Bibbity Bobbity Bass). We Sunkfrancisco Frankenstance’d it at Tiny Telephone Studio, guided by our favorite Aaron Prellwitz. Katie Hart made the songs into beautiful, innocent drawings.
Tracklist and album cover all in one: VIEW ME!
Because we think record stores are special, real places, our recommendation is that you invest your time in a trip to your local shop. If you prefer the thrill of receiving a lovely digipak CD from your mail courier, here’s a place to start:
SUNKFRANCISCO FRANKENSTANCE ME!
