Jad Fair & PhonoComb - In A Haunted House

Review by Bibhuti Biswas

In A Haunted House by Jad Fair & PhonoComb is an experimental and haunting album that takes listeners on a journey through eerie soundscapes and unsettling melodies. The album features Fair's signature off-kilter vocals and PhonoComb's atmospheric instrumentation, creating a unique and otherworldly listening experience.

The opening track, "Ghost Town", sets the tone for the album with its sparse instrumentation and haunting vocals. "Bats in the Attic" is a standout track with its eerie guitar riffs and ominous lyrics. "The Haunted House" is a slow-burning track that builds to a crescendo of dissonant guitar and percussion.

Throughout the album, Fair and PhonoComb explore themes of fear, isolation, and the supernatural. The lyrics are often abstract and open to interpretation, adding to the album's overall sense of mystery and unease.

Summary by Bibhuti Biswas

In A Haunted House is not for the faint of heart, but for those who appreciate experimental music and are willing to explore the darker corners of the human psyche, it is a compelling and thought-provoking listening experience.
