I heard this song on Pandora radio recently and, without paying much attention, thought it must be some twee English outfit, a la Belle and Sebastian, something light and sweet that my daughters would enjoy. It came around again on the playlist, and I noticed some odd lyrics about pretty zombies and chains and gave it a closer listen.
Turns out to be one of the more disturbing tunes in recent memory- a catchy love song to a woman imprisoned in a basement, performed by a Baltimore "avant-garde lounge metal" band. And I can't seem to get the tune out of my head. Does that make me a bad person?
