Search - The Reds :: The Reds Fugitives From The Laughing House

Fugitives From The Laughing House, is The Reds brand new CD, featuring founding members, Rick Shaffer and Bruce Cohen. Fugitives From The Laughing House is a neo sixties / post punk world of buzzing drones, three dimensional sounds, stinging guitars, raw emotion......a soundscape that hits the listeners consciousness......while lyrically taking on deep matters of the soul. The Reds have not strayed from their roots on this album. The passion, aggressive drive and angular electronic textures in previous albums and film work, best represented in The Reds (A&M), Shake Appeal (Sire/WB), and Cry Tomorrow (on Tarock and The Stereo Society), along with their work for director, Michael Mann, in the film Manhunter. Written and produced by The Reds, the ride starts from the street fighting Wild and Little Cisco, through the hypnotic stroll of Ringing The Bell and Dum Dum Dice, and does not let up until the end with the grinding Dub laced Gunns Suicide, and slow death burn of Cant Bring You Back Again, which feels like a dying man s last breath. Fugitives From The Laughing House is a straight forward raw nerve reflection of life in America today. These guys would not be out of place on a smoky midnight bill in the 60 s with The Doors and The Velvet Underground, or in 2007 at Bonnarroo . . . . they have a timeless sound.
