Our Take

Switchblade Symphony's album "Scrapbook" is a delightful hodgepodge of dark and dreamy electro-goth vibes. From the hauntingly beautiful vocals to the intricate layers of instrumentals, this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you feeling like you've just stepped out of a Tim Burton film.

Opening track "Dollhouse" sets the stage with its creepy carnival vibes and hypnotic melodies. Lead singer Tina Root's vocals are both enchanting and eerie, drawing you in with their ethereal quality. The throbbing basslines and shimmering synths create a lush soundscape that is both haunting and irresistible.

Tracks like "Gutter Glitter" and "Wicked" showcase the band's ability to blend dark and brooding atmospheres with infectious hooks. The juxtaposition of beauty and darkness is a central theme throughout the album, creating a sense of unease that is strangely alluring.

"Scrapbook" is a true gem in Switchblade Symphony's discography, showcasing the band's unique blend of gothic sensibilities and electronic experimentation. With its rich production and captivating songwriting, this album is a must-listen for fans of the macabre and the mysterious. So grab your black eyeliner and dive into the twisted world of Switchblade Symphony - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Switchblade Symphony

Switchblade Symphony, the enigmatic duo hailing from San Francisco, burst onto the gothic music scene in the early '90s like a whirlwind of black lace and sonic seduction. Comprised of Tina Root and Susan Wallace, these two sirens of synth created a sound that was a deliciously dark blend of ethereal melodies and industrial beats. With their haunting vocals and mesmerising performances, Switchblade Symphony quickly garnered a devout following of black-clad fans who couldn't get enough of their unique brand of gothic electronica. Their debut album, "Serpentine Gallery," was a masterpiece of moody atmospheres and infectious hooks, earning them critical acclaim and cementing their status as goth icons. But Switchblade Symphony were not content to rest on their laurels. They continued to push boundaries with their music, incorporating elements of trip-hop, shoegaze, and even a touch of cabaret into their sonic palette. Tracks like "Clown" and "Sweet" showcased their versatility and creativity, proving that they were not afraid to experiment and evolve. Despite their success, Switchblade Symphony remained a mysterious and elusive presence in the music world. Rumours swirled about their inspirations and influences, with some claiming they were born from the shadows of a haunted opera house and others insisting they were actually time-travelling vampires. One thing was certain - Switchblade Symphony was a force to be reckoned with, and their influence can still be heard in the darkwave and gothic scenes today. So dim the lights, don your finest velvet cape, and allow yourself to be swept away by the haunting beauty of Switchblade Symphony.
