Imagine walking down a dark and creepy hallway, with strobe lights and teenagers. As a filmmaker, I’m a sucker for slasher flicks. So I probably had a few expectations when I picked this up. I mean, I wasn’t expecting an orchestrated soundtrack or anything. But the title implies a nifty B movie-esque sound. Avey Tare’s Slasher Flicks fits somewhere in between and far to the left. My only complaint would be that their songs are somewhat redundant. They have a similar sound to indie dudes The Neighbourhood… if they were haunted. But they kept bopping in and out of that and a goth pop feel. Perhaps this album would work for a faster paced Tim Burton film. Who doesn’t like a good Tim Burton movie? Maybe I’ll call these guys up and see if I can use a song for my next film. (Domino Recording Co., dominorecordco.com) Kaitlyn Emslie Farrell
