Casket Girls, “The Night Machines” (Graveface, 2016)
Post-punk-meets-girl-group-meets-goth hybrid, kind of like Best Coast if Cosentino did a lot of tranquilizers and sat around watching German silent films with Christian Death playing in the background and the windows boarded up. Luckily, they’ve got the songs to bring it off, and this moves along blissfully/eerily cloudlike with the clockwork Victorian grace worthy of the album’s name.

Casket Girls, “True Love Kills The Fairytale” (Graveface, 2014)
Like the Marshmallow Ghosts, this exemplifies the “Graveface Sound” at its most Halloween-candy delicious. Jesus and Mary Chain-style noise-pop spun and softened into pastel cotton-candy swirls, spooky nursery-rhyme sing-songs like the creepy twin sisters from “The Shining” if they’d grown up and started a band.
