Death pop? I can dig it. The genre belongs to San Diego quintet The Burning of Rome, and today they let us take a look at a song inspired by Mr. Hitchcock's Psycho. With a title like "Norman Bates" what else could it be about? The original is a quirky track with fun lines like won't you please stay in my motel and don't be afraid, mother means well. I've liked using the word cacophony a lot lately, and I think it's fitting here. You have creepy vocals mixed with a score you've never heard the likes of before. Also, I'm very partial to the remix by alternative veterans Butthole Surfers. "Norman Bates" turns into something a little more horror movie and, if it's possible, it's a bit quirkier. And if you know me, I love things with quirks.
I realize now I could have saved this one for Halloween, but why save something for another fifteen days if it's worth sharing now?
