Life In Sodom The Physical Being Life In Sodom A very interesting ethereal, techno-gothic EP. The title song would make a perfect soundtrack to a long night’s walk down a city tunnel. I’m reminded a lot of very early English electronic dance music (e.g., Depeche Mode, etc.) which included plenty of wobbly organs and gloomy vocals. Their cover of “Thunderball,” though, is really inspired. It’s a slow electronic piece that really needs to be heard late night in the city, while walking home in a light summer rain. Really! Life In Sodom will provide great background music to an otherwise mundane urban existence! Try it in your Walkman! lifeinsodom@juno.com. By David Lee Beowülf

LIFE IN SODOM THE HOLLOW AND HAUNTED HOUSE Nutrix Records I don’t ever remember them being this loose and fun before, but there’s no denying they’re having outrageous fun on this EP with such a good-natured, beautifully groomed slice of kitsch Americana that bubbles with sub-garage detail and melodic finery. The vocals positively purr, the organ glows with pristine poise, and the rhythm is like a succulent glue as they narrate the simple tale of a local house of mystery in which the Devil has left something behind. You also get a dinky instrumental, plus a vocal-heavy “In A Woodshed” version. Bizarre to the point of cute, and an utter delight. The creepy imagery of deserted toys lingers on…. By Mick Mercer
