I've featured this band before when they played in Glasgow performing a live soundtrack to Battleship Potemkim, and a mention of their re-interpretation of John Carpenter's theme for Halloween, but I thought it was appropriate to feature it today.
Carpenter's synth music was startlingly effective in creating a sinister atmosphere in his movies, and performed by Zombie-Zombie they sound great in a modern context.
For all Carpenter gets a great deal of well-deserved credit for his film work, his status as an innovator in electronic music has never really been celebrated, so credit to Zombie-Zombie for dusting down this spooky corner of popular culture and shining a light on it.
Boo!
