In
her emotionally charged and absolutely incomparable
"Victoriandustrial" style, studded
with killer beats and spattered with violins
and harpsichords, Emilie Autumn mesmerizes
us once more with her album-lenth double feature
EP, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun &
Bohemian Rhapsody."
Never
one to play by the rules, Emilie Autumn ignores
the standard release schedule established
by other artists, and offers up her deliciously
ironic renditions of two of the most notorious
songs of all time, Cyndi Lauper's "Girls
Just Wanna Have Fun," and Queen's "Bohemian
Rhapsody." To the tune of this badass,
broken-doll burlesque, the Asylum is opening,
the inmates have escaped, and revenge is just
around the corner...
While
shamelessly showing off her bizarrely wide
vocal range and ability to reproduce the famous
Brian May guitar solo note for note on her
electric violin, Emilie Autumn's Asylum world
becomes ever more real for us with every note,
and by injecting her perverse brand of humor
into the deadliest of subjects, Emilie Autumn
turns the gothic/industrial world on its head,
and it's about damned time.
This
release features a luxurious 6-panel digipak
and a 12-page booklet with backstage insights
into the Asylum. |
