The Fall Of The House Of The House Of B. Blanc
Liner Notes
Suddenly I've switched from an electronic direction to some sort of #goth / psychobilly / early 80s #post-punk thing. Given what we're all doing here, I just rolled with it. This all grew out of the opening couple of lines, which came into my head in the shower...
Lyrics
A castle within a castle A wall behind a wall And if you thought of asking He wouldn't reply at all This is the man who controlled our fate Now he sits by the boiling lake
The fall of the house of the house of B. Blanc
He said, "Remove your glasses" Then he told us to get rid of our eyes And when the sky got clotted He couldn't disguise his surprise With a head filled up with nothing A mouth that could speak only dread
The fall of the house of the house of B. Blanc
No castle inside the castle No walls behind any walls And if you thought of asking He wouldn't reply at all This is the man who controlled our fate Now he rots by the boiling lake
The fall of the house of the house of B. Blanc

Aaaahhhhhh, I love those echo-y drums and that groovy bassline. Both are definitely essential to goth and post-punk stuff! Very cool sounds here throughout the track.

You've given me a whole new outlook on psychobilly. Really, really cool and intense.

Great 60’s sound. This is is very Animals meets the Doors meets the Monkees (Head era). Cool.

Really fun, I love the way it drops out into the chorus. Shower ideas always seem to work out well. Just now realising I haven't had one in a while (specifically an idea, I'm still showering). Wish I was rotting by a boiling lake right now smdh

Loving the energy of this!
Great production chops, but I have to give extra props for following a shower inspiration to see where it leads.
The sound & vibe remind me of the first album by "Tennis" but this is more edgy and insistent. I don't know if it's intended, but I can almost overlay hints at current events and, if that's the case, this is a nicely-done spotlight.

Rad! This feels like a lost track from the old school of post-punk.

Been listening through your tracks and really enjoying what you've been making, and HAD to comment on this one. So fun! The bassline is such a groove. Also, English teacher I love the allusion to Poe and then I'm assuming to Knives Out. Anyway, badass and fun!
