Apparently nothing to do with the New York band or, for that matter, the fictional steam-powered grownup toy of the identical title, Steely Dan is a terrifyingly unsettling story impressed by a horror story written by drummer Jack Rainbow, who seemingly shares a few of the feverish creativeness usually displayed by singer Sam Blakely. When easy hunter Dan is possessed by a spirit residing in his deer prey, issues can clearly solely go from dangerous to worse. The band, who self-describe as ‘oddball’, take this easy, on a regular basis premise and switch it into one thing genuinely darkish and disturbinhg, which is concurrently pervaded by the inimitable surreal Pyncher sense of humour.
Harvey O’Toole’s insistent guitar underpins this reside staple and fan favorite from the off, with Sam’s mocking vocal supply and the creepy, nightmarish lyrics making a thrillingly claustrophobic and taut environment, additional accentuated by the sinister ‘Ch ch chu, Oh!’ chorus and haunting center eight;
‘What goes up, it comes down,
I met you on the couch, carrying my frown,
What goes up, it comes down,
I constructed myself a home simply to burn it to the bottom.’
The unearthly enjoyable doesn’t let up from starting to spine-chilling finish because the fearsome foursome show their skill to take the unsuspecting listeners by the hand and cause them to locations they know they actually shouldn’t enterprise.
