Nora Keyes is a freak. Former frontwoman of L.A. goth-punk band The Centimeters, Keyes goes pretty much all out on Songs to Cry by for the Golden Age of Nothing, with no apparent purpose other than to creep the fuck out of you. She cackles, she croaks, she's awesome. The instrumentation is aimed at one effect: spooky. Swirling organs, accordions, harps, violins and a whole mess of other instruments frame her oh-so eerie vocals. And even if her songs do make me unshakably uncomfortable, there's no denying that they're beautiful in a sad, longing way. Vaudeville nightmares and big scary houses, thank you Nora.
