The Dead Bodies remind us that there is a strong, often forgotten, difference between the challenging and the esoteric. This distinction lies in the subtle detail and craftsmanship of records not often falling squarely below the genre placards of your local Best Buy. If Zappa had embraced the drugs of his era and Bowie had grown up harboring a sick infatuation with zombies they would’ve found themselves neck deep in the sound of The Dead Bodies, pushing the barrier between acid-rock and hybrid electronica while still managing to sound delicate and strangely endearing. After floating around as one of Detroit’s most highly traded albums among the CD-R subculture, a proper release finally comes forth in the epic mindfuck that is MR. SPOOKHOUSE’S PINK HOUSE . At times we are able to love what we cannot classify, and we invite you to do so now. Invent your own category if you feel so inclined. A general feeling of madness is the best anyone has been able to come up with so far. This album is that madness.
Make no mistakes… this is a “show all your friends” record. It is music that cannot be ignored. Regardless of what may have inspired it or how exactly it came together, it has an undeniable quality. It may be the fucked up culmination of kids with too much time on their hands, or too many substances in reach…but it’s gorgeous, rich, and perhaps the most accessible record this year that can still make a claim on pure creativity and unquestioned originality.
SOUNDS LIKE: The Television Theme Song For A Cartoon About Zombie Circus Dance Parties... On Acid.

"One of the more interesting bands in the next wave of Detroit rockers."
- The Detroit News
"The Dead Bodies are weird. They're melodic, they do a little garage rock, a lot of indie pop, and probably a good deal of drugs. All in all, it's good stuff."
- Real Detroit
