Damn, it’s nice to see a local act with some ambition. Prom Queen‘s Leeni Ramadan and her band have “pulled a Beyoncé” (when’s that going into the OED?) and made videos accompanying each of the 12 songs on their delightfully Technicolor-hued new album Midnight Veil. This is actually one of the lower-key songs on the record, which comes off like a long-lost collaboration between a femme fatale Nancy Sinatra and an LSD-fried Martin Denny. Music to soundtrack whichever young auteur wants to claim Tarantino’s postmodernist pulp dreams, basically. And a helluva lot of fun at that, which is in desperately short supply around these parts sometimes.
Prom Queen premiere Midnight Veil and its accompanying videos on Saturday, October 11, at FRED Wildlife Refuge.
