DOOM Wop by that psycho Austin

Death Industrial/ Darkwave/ Noise covers of some of the most classic doo-wop retro love songs in history! I re-envision these love songs, in my opinion, appropriately. I've always thought it was peculiar how catchy and light-hearted these love songs sounded when the lyrics and subject matter were actually so heavy and even dark sometimes. For example, "You Always Hurt the One You Love." I would assert that's not true at all and these kinds of notions glorified and normalized in secular love and songs about it, plant deep seeds of pain, dissatisfaction, heartache, and dysfunction. The truth is you don't hurt the one you love. That's not love, that's mistreatment, and how dangerous for our society that we've confused such toxicity with love. “Love hurts,” the famous song goes. But does it? Or have we really become this confused on something so completely fundamental to humanity?" Love isn't a feeling you get from someone, and people aren't experiences for you to have. Love is a choice you make in how to treat other people no matter how you feel about it. It's a choice you hold yourself accountable to even when you don't feel like it. These covers re-imagine these songs that assert an over-idealized notion of romantic love for a new audience that understands love more deeply because they've known so many heartaches, and for an audience that loves really weird dark music, featuring covers of the Flamingos, Elvis Presley & more.

Inspired by suspense & horror films, noise & dark ambient music, and free improvisation, this is the performance and recording moniker where I get visceral af and get a lil shadow work done
