The Bacarrudas Bleed Out, Get Pushed Off a Cliff, Sink to the Bottom of a Lake, and Play a Halloween Monster House Party! LP

The title says it all, folks. A double LP full of campy, over-the-top, ’60s-inspired monster madness straight out of Philadelphia. It’s worthy of a seasonal spin during your next Pagan house party or seasonal sockhop. Songs like “Dracula’s Castle” and “She’s in Love with Frankenstein’s Monster” are loaded with all the reverb and tremolo of your fave ’60s and ’70s novelty records, and much to my enjoyment, they lean into the humor and campiness. It reminds me of the kind of stuff I would find in a used dollar bin and would scoop up without hesitation. It’s pressed at 45 RPM on 12” which adds to the novelty vibe. Overall, it’s a fun record without a ton of memorable moments, but deserving of a listen if you’re into the schtick.
