THE BAMBI MOLESTERS+CHRIS ECKMAN=The Strange

chris eckman

If John Vanderslice had grown up to write and record his noirish tunes as surf music (not likely, since he is a Floridian - sarcasm, people), this is what the music may have sounded like. Imagine surfing upon a slow motion ocean, in the dark, with a hangover, and two days growth of facial hair (and you're a girl!) - this is The Strange. A collaboration of Chris Eckman (The Walkabouts) and noirish surf instrumental band (toss in a dash of Ennio Morricone), The Bambi Molesters, The Strange have recently unleashed their debut on Dancing Bear Records, a Croation label. Give them a listen...

  1. Morricone is the hotness, so based on that mention alone I'll try them.

    Great find!
