I knew I'd love it. I've been 'possessed'! since seeing The Dark Carnival. Come To The Fabulon appealed to me even more in a certain way. If they ever make a movie of the book 'Geek Love' you guys need to make the soundtrack. 1st listen tonight. 2nd listen I will read the lyrics at the same time, 3rd listen I might drink neat brandy and sob (got to be done when you discover heart-stirring music) ! Everyone interprets music differently I guess... I heard some Raveonettes baselines, The ballerina music box song in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, some of The Water Babies soundtrack (Hartover Hall) and The Munsters theme tune! No Pulp or the Divine Comedy though thank goodness! Overall LOTS of European musical infuence (Spain? Russia? omg how will Brexit effect your musical influences?) but as un-European 'Tenterhooks' was compared to the rest of the album, its still my fave. Also really loved the tracks with no vocals (no offence Biff!) .. I imagine trapeze artists performing amazing feats to these! Looking forward to my 2nd listen, thank you ~ Laura
