It takes a lot..
for a song to catch my attention, because I have a 60,000 song library, but "Hidden and Sick" did. I totally agree with THECLEANINGGUY..this reminds me of Siouxsie, also a bit of Nina Hagen. I miss those days.

Quirky and interesting
I found the free track irritating at first, but it grew on me quickly. While you could say some of this material has a significant lack of subtlety, you couldn't say you got it confused with some other band. You may not like this right away, but you won't be bored by it, either.
Great free track!
If youb like Siouxsie and the Banshees this is for you. I will load the rest when my account pumps up next month!
Post punk gypsy rock
It's kind of like if Siouxie and the Banshees early work came out of eastern Europe and had more accordians.
If you liked Godley and Creme...give this a listen
Or perhaps if you like Devotchka, if you don't know who Godley & Creme are/were. I would catalog this under art rock similar to Godley & Creme, not as pretentious as 10CC or Moody Blues, not as classically oriented as the late 60s - early 70s genre that also included self-conscious attempts at jazz-rock-world fusion. This falls into the effortless eclectic approach of Devotchka with a touch of hypomanic existentialism that the name might suggest. Then there's an occasional Bonzo moment or two. Or Zappa. Or R.E.M. Who knows? Like I said - eclectic. They've synthesized all the influences into their own voice, as far as I'm concerned. Either that or I'm completely out of touch with the current alternative music scene, left behind at They Might Be Giants a few years back, the equivalent of a 50s jazz moldy fig, but I like the Katzenjammer Kabarett anyway.
