I've been addicted to the Scary Mansion album 'Every Joke Is A Half Truth' for about a month now. They are Brooklyn based Leah Hayes' musical project. I discovered them through a blog post on Foggy when Ryan Adams was talking about her awesome graphic novel 'Funeral Of The Heart'. Much like her graphic novel work, the album is intense and sweeping, creating a very haunting landscape. The vocal and instrumental delivery throughout the album is very unique, which adds to it's charm.
Here's a 'live in the dark' video for 'Go To Hell':
It also turns out that Leah has done the cover and lyric book for the limited edition vinyl of the new (Ryan Adams &) The Cardinals album 'Cardinology', which comes out on October 27th.
Check out the Scary Mansion MySpaz page for more songs (try 'Sorry We Took All Yr Money' first) and buy the album here if you like what you hear.
