Dr. StrangeLuv - Sissypuss


The year is young and Dr. StrangeLuv is rockin out. I run across the music from this band a few times so now I decided to give them a proper post again. Thanks Ivan and Keon for sending me their album, "Sissypuss", so there's no excuse to give it a listen. Another folksy tunes and a new blend of soul into it. I sometimes wonder, how the hell do they even think of something like this? Very creative and unique.  The opening tracks "Be the Boss" following with "Sarcasm,Spasm!" are an indicative of the quality of the rest of the album that has a bit more arrangement and fullness than their previous works. Dr StrangeLuv is not stopping, they have recently signed with Terno Recordings, a local independent label catering music of indiepop/rock, jazz, house, techno, and everything in between.

Sissypuss is definitely an album to take a listen to especially if you need a dose of blues and laid back feel. You go home, put the CD/MP3 on, settle back with a beer or any drink and listen.

Dr. StrangeLuv

How was your weekend? I didn't get the chance to extend my stay in Manila for the Andy Deported and The Outsourced Show. Boohoo. Anyway, It was a geeky weekend with my friends, I'm not really into comics but It was amazing to see our local comic artists' creative artworks. Oh yeah, I know this is off topic. Haha.


Okay, time to get back into it. The music that is. Dr. StrangeLuv is another project of Grandioso of Stigmatics from Laguna, Philippines. This time he's working along with his brother El Scum. This is a diy home recording, letting out some indie-folk-ish tunes. I don't know much about the band, other than the information found on their Myspace. To be honest, I'm a little bit out of league listening to their songs, at some point it would seem that you're inside a good vibe indie film or a commercial, while some songs are understated and dreamy.

I'll keep an eye out for some of their new tunes, for now you can visit them on Myspace and listen to their songs.
