A bicostal super-duo is born: Haunted Hearts announces debut album “Initiation”

The collaboration between Brooklyn based Dee Dee Penny (Dum Dum Girls) and San Diego’s Brandon Welchez (Crocodiles) Haunted Hearts was many years dreamt, one cold winter realized. The duo’s debut full-length, entitled ‘Initiation,’ will be released on May 27th 2014, but we have a video for the single right here and right now, and it’s intriguing us. Dee Dee’s lazy vocals lay a stretched melody on a dilated background of what sounds like an everchanging drone of reversed guitars, creating a suggestive atmosphere reminiscent of a hybrid of Best Coast and the Velvet Underground at their droniest. Bicostal indeed! We are digging the lo-sci-fi video as well!
