Suicide - Cheree
The creepiest song to ever ape the Rightous Brothers; also, coicidentally, easily the most casually listenable song in all of Suicide’s catalog. For some reason, it gets me sentimental.
For those who don’t know, via NY Mag:
SUICIDE, SUICIDE, 1977
Another album that showed the incredible breadth of music that was happening simultaneously downtown in the late seventies—as well as the end-of-the-world fog that hung over the entire city. While everyone else was off playing their guitars, Suicide noisily plotted the future of synth pop, mining the new sounds of electronic keyboards and merging them with crazy, noirish fifties vocals. It’s legitimately scary music, especially the harsh ten-minute epic “Frankie Teardrop.”
