"It's the band's most booming single to date, killing pop culture with pop and enjoying every second of it." - Noisey on "Tears Of A Clown”
“The record shows off the ladies’ southern charm and penchant for making a true work of
art.” - Popular TV
“Casket Girls may be purveyors of a dark gothic pop, but the Savannah trio has found a way to make their shadowy musical work somehow comfortingly inviting.” - Consequence Of SoundWatch: "Tears Of Clown" video via NPR Music or YouTube
Stream: The Night Machines via Noisey NPR Music has premiered Casket Girls new video for "Tears Of A Clown" from the band's new albumThe Night Machines out now on Graveface Records. The album is available to order on LP, CD, Cassette and digitally now in the Graveface online store. The band told NPR, "Tears of a Clown" is a protest song. "Its reflective meditation on the current state of disrepair begs the question: Can we officially call it 'rock bottom,' so that the waves of change can begin to roll and crash?" Casket Girls' Elsa Greene goes on with great passion to say. "There is a new American Dream. The intention is possibility, peace and love, dimension-wide. In the video, we use classic American symbolism representing the ideals this Country was built on, i.e. Peace and Freedom, and recontextualize in the modern forum." "Tears Of Clown" is also available share via YouTube . Noisey is featuring a full stream of the new album The Night Machines and says, “On the band’s third LP, The Night Machines, the sinister element remains, but it takes time to work its way under your skin. ‘True Believers’ has had a synth-strong makeover, replacing that straight-fingered piano with distorted keys and consuming those swirling vocals. Opener '24 Hours' seems at first glance to show as much light as dark and the wonderful ‘Virginia Beach’ has a sweet, pretty melody to go along with that 70s music-box futurism….A lot of the consuming instrumentation comes from Best Coast multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno and the steady drums are from TW Walsh of Soft Drugs, Headphones and Pedro the Lion. There’s plenty of talent behind the tracks before you get to the main cast. But it’s the Greene Sisters and that uncanny charm that makes it worth sticking around.”Casket Girls are currently on co-headlining tour with Stardeath and White Dwarfs as part of the Graveface Road show. The tour will make stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Austin and more. All upcoming shows are listed below. The Casket Girls leave the safety of their blackout curtain lair to roam an apocalyptic world, questioning the essence of humanity, where the dreamers, prophets and vampires of the old world, work together to forge a new path. The concept is Singularity. Welcome to The Night Machines. The Casket Girls are the virtually reclusive Savannah sisters, Phaedra and Elsa Greene, and Ryan Graveface (Graveface Records, Dreamend, etc). The group’s bond has continuously strengthened over the course of their four releases, culminating in The Night Machines, their third full length LP and strongest effort to date. They wrote, recorded and mixed the record in Savannah and Athens, GA with local hero Andy LeMaster. Drum duties were taken on by fellow Graveface Records artist T.W. Walsh. The Casket Girls have gained momentum and a substantial cult following due to the unflagging catchiness of their songwriting and the compelling development of their polarizing live show, the likes of which prompted one reviewer to write “The Casket Girls are more than just a band; they're a living art piece. Their descent into the crowd at the end of the show for hugs that culminated in a shared embrace between the sisters was grand. In this final moment, Seeba's earlier declaration rang true. We were The Casket Girls, they were The Casket Girls.”
