Asian She just released their debut album, Milk the Fire, last July. Described by one reviewer as “A cross between Cracker and The Cure,” they mesh synth-pop beats with distorted guitars and deadpan vocals. They came across my radar when I heard the video for their latest track, 6-17, might be a contender for scariest video ever made.
While it doesn’t beat them all, this is definitely upper echelon horror entertainment, something genre fans rarely expect when viewing a music video—especially when the band is relatively mainstream. Introducing a masked villain who would be at home in a Clive Barker story, 6-17 packs the thrills of a feature film into three and a half minutes.
If you’re reading The Blood-Shed, chances are you like what you just saw. But if you also like what you heard, you can follow Asian She on Facebook: HERE, and/or purchase Milk the Fire on Bandcamp.com: HERE.
If you live in the LA area, you can see Asian She live at the Silverlake Lounge on Thursday April 7. Show starts at 10 PM.
