Description
Many pieces of Savannah, GA three-piece The Casket Girls seemed to happen by accident. From their beginning when electronic sound-shaper Ryan Graveface (Graveface Records, Dreamend, Black Moth Super Rainbow) found sisters Phaedra and Elsa Greene under a tree in one of Savannahs many squares, playing Autoharp and singing bizarre songs to the night they composed their sophomore album, True Love Kills the Fairy Tale,
As Graveface tells, I dropped off a shit ton of songs to the girls to work on one night, I went back to check on their progress, because they werent answering their phones.
I dont know if they dropped acid or what, but I walked in and Elsa was sobbing and reciting poetry while Phaedra was just staring straight ahead writing it all down, like catatonic. The next day they dropped off a CD and I sat down and listened all the way through and cried. I was like, Holy shit! They actually wrote a record like that! I had them re-record every note just as it was on the demo. They really didnt remember any of it. Very bizarre.
Phaedra and Elsa had filled the disc with lilting, almost whimsical melodies about chemical hazes and love gone sour like a couple of fucked up Shangri-las, to which Graveface added a bevy of grinding, multi-dimensional psych-rock synths that will be familiar to anyone with a BMSR record in their collection.
