Pick of the Week: No Static - Bottin

If you are anything like me you probably spent most of last month in dark theaters watching B Grade Italian Horror films. If you’re also like me you’ve always wished someone would combine the on-screen chills with the 1970s rhythm of an European discotheque. Each time I dreamed this combo up, I assumed I had eaten too many movie theater hot dogs before bed because who in the world was going to make this music?

Imagine my shock when I stumbled across Bottin’s album Horror Disco. My two loves were now one: dancing like an idiot and scary movies. While my favorite is the fantastically over the top “Disco for the Devil,” most will probably gravitate towards lead single “No Static.”  Now that horror movies and disco have teamed, what other unthinkable combos could be next? Hair metal and children’s cartoons? Prog-rock and commercial jingles? My mind is reeling from the possibilities. And if this really catches on, maybe I’ll gel up my hair, get a fake tan going and get out and see what I’ve been missing at some of these trendy nightclubs.
