The Tesla coils hum in static ecstasy; the doors creak and the floorboards moan. It's Transylvania Radio.
Transylvania Radio, Casey James and The Staypuft Kids latest concept-pop offering, creeps through radio static as a faux nineteen thirties horror RADIO DRAMA.
Transylvania Radio is an psychedelic journey of spooky pop and ass to the floor rhythms swirling in a witches brew of fifties r'n'b spring reverb, bowed saws, harpsichord, banjo, upright bass, Moog synthesizer and, with and without exaggeration, the kitchen sink.
Think Abbot and Costello meet Bella Lugosi (in his '52 Mercury) , hitchhiking to Brian Wilsons 18th century costume ball, tucked into some dark Detroit warehouse... Thump, thump... Thump, Thump... Four heartbeats on the floor with a sinister swagger.
The CD includes 9 songs and 17 tracks of horrifyingly tasty mysteries.
"Every band claims to sound different, but far fewer actually do when it comes right down to it. However, I'm guessing that has never been a problem of any kind for Casey James & the Staypuft Kid" --EverybodyCares
"Casey James describes his band's neon avant folk pop thusly: "sugar rush, booty on the floor, cartoon music mutations paired with thoughtful, visceral lyrics and a flair for the bizaAAAaaarr." Sounds about right." --StereoGum
"CJSPK: Emperor Norton Meets Pikachu. Fantastic Fun!"--Raven Servellon
