Dracula Palms

Clockwork Horrors

Sounds like: MGMT, Ariel Pink, Foster the People, Bag Raiders, Cadillac
Remember when MGMT weren't making ridiculously egoistical, confusing music? Well, for those of you who remember how good their first album was, I'd give Brisbane duo Dracula Palms a try. We brought you their incredibly catchy single "Pretty Lady" back in April, and they boys (Jake Schwenke and Jack Woods) have returned with a new track."Clockwork Horrors" is an interesting mix of electro, funk and pop. The guys have put a fun horror-pop slant on it, with vocalist Jake stating, "We were aiming for a Monster Mash/Rocky Horror Picture show vibe, sort of spooky horror film type of jig." Whatever it is, it's a whole lotta carefree fun.Dracula Palms are still developing their sound, but with each track they're getting closer to where they see themselves. Currently writing and putting together a band, they'll be playing their first shows in the back end of 2012.
