Concrete BlondeBloodletting
$28.00Call to Order
Dark, gothic alternative rock dripping with atmosphere. The album feels like walking through New Orleans at 2 a.m., humid, dangerous, and beautiful. 'Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)' swaggers like a vampire drawing up a shortlist of victims, dripping with Anne Rice atmosphere. 'Joey' is a devastating, pleading ballad to an alcoholic ex-lover that hit No. 1 on Modern Rock. 'Tomorrow Wendy,' written by Wall of Voodoo's Andy Prieboy about a friend who died by suicide after an HIV diagnosis, is one of the most haunting songs of its era. Features R.E.M.'s Peter Buck.
