About Aunt Dracula

"Hailing from Philadelphia, they are as roomy as a pharaoh's crypt. Lush and eerie, their music is like a haunted greenhouse, full of bizarre musical fauna and the distant echoes of passing voices that rave with layered incantations. It's pop music with heart, and it's got enough vision and room reverb to make it fully mammalian and four chambered, even if we aren't exactly certain of the sub species. With Aunt Dracula, mood runs to exotic highs." --Minneapolis City Pages

"If there were such a thing as a postmodern post-apocalypse, and the world existed in a kind of warping shift of dark hues, Dalí-esque imagery and Technicolor, Philly's Aunt Dracula is the band that would write its surf music...Guitar rock this inspired and experimental is a rarity, and Aunt Dracula gives sonic adventurers much to sink their teeth into." --Denver Westword

"Philly freaks Aunt Dracula specialize in chaotic psychedelic mantras weird enough to repel but catchy enough to reel you back in. It sounds like they found a new drug, and they’re not telling anyone else where to get it." --San Diego City Beat

"Aunt Dracula’s sound would be what Philly bands evolve into if global warming continues to raise southeastern Pennsylvania temperatures and turns the Delaware River into prime tropical beachfront. On their debut, Face Peel , the Philadelphia trio crafts LSD-infused psychedelic folk infused with a heady mix of textured stuttering shoegaze guitars and tropical impulses. Songs awash in hippyish ambiguity tell tales of weirdo characters among paranoid shifts in tempo." -- Friction NYC

"The frantic blur of freak-pop heard on Aunt Dracula’s debut album will continue to frighten the elderly and baffle anyone unacquainted with indie music...a chance to finally commune with the band's deeply ingrained quirks." -- Philadelphia Weekly

"More like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde than any kind of vampire, Aunt Dracula play a monster mash of genres. The Philadelphians quickly melt from discordant pop, sounding like evangelicals bouncing notes off a funhouse mirror, into spazzy noise freak-outs, complete with werewolf howls only listenable after the midnight hour." --Minneapolis Citypages

"Sort of fucked up hazy uber-melodic pop caught in a tropical cyclone...read what others are saying...and check this band out. pretty, wonderful, outrageous... " --Eyedrum, Atlanta

"Face Peel makes edgier, irked noise pop that comes across like Tom Zé fronting Can...without losing a hint of the gentility or somnolent weirdness that we love about our dear old Aunt." -- Philadelphia City Paper

"Aunt Dracula was also doing something unique and different, and “spooky freak pop” only begins to cover it. Their psychedelic-punk noise pop was somewhat redolent of Portishead, and the weirdness, textured guitars, schizophrenic tempos and wild vocals are infectious and make them particularly enjoyable in a live setting, especially since there’s something warm and tropical to their music. " --Daily Nexus, Isla Vista

"We totally love the name. Heralded Philadelphia faves Aunt Dracula bring their quirky indie stylings to the Turf tonight. Concocted of a somewhat undefinable blend of experimental, fuzzy arrangements with dark undertones, Aunt Dracula rounds out with a layering of vocals that soar from frenzied to smoothly melodic. This troupe of musical oddballs will most assuredly put on an interesting stage show, proving once again that Philly is not just about American history and delicious cheese steak sandwiches." --Secrets of the City

"Operatic, comic book-esque, story-based songwriting, featuring oddball characters, scale-sliding vocal arrangements and schizophrenic tempo changes...the band incorporates a strange "tropical" vibe, one that makes the song sound like it belongs on the soundtrack to some perverted, campy horror flick set on an uncharted island." -- The Walrus Blog

"Shoegazers in a sewer tunnel, Philly noiseboys Aunt Dracula sing in itinerant voices that wander from unhinged hollers to demented croons. On their debut album, ..Face Peel.., echoing guitars creep up in a sickly cloud that clings like a sweet hot fart and wilt out of tune in the middle of their own phrases" -- The Chicago Reader

"Aunt Dracula crosses frenetic, goofy, and intense vocals (think xiu xiu) with spacey effects and wild but tight instrumentation." -- The Baltimore Examiner

"...I'm not entirely sure Aunt Dracula are definable. Whatever they are, they're a far leap away from the post-punk bands that immediately spring to mind. With more and more creative indie types coming out of Northern America and Canada, it's getting harder to mold modern influences into something new, but Aunt Dracula do it with style." -- Drunkenwerewolf

"With a sound that conjures up a way-too-stoned evening on an almost-tropical beach, quirky psych-rock band Aunt Dracula probably feel more at home here in Miami than in their hometown of Philly." -- Flavorpill Miami

"Fortunately, Aunt Dracula rise above the norm, and not the undead, and have a sound not unlike what a vampire would feel like locked in a closet full of blood and garlic" -- Blackbook Magazine, San Francisco

"...whimsical and swirly, they push their sound and lyrics into odd wastelands that only an ageless vampire that has grown tired of devouring humans could create… As summer encroaches upon us I highly recommend adding this album to your stack of “must brings” for the road trips you take with your friends." --Minor Progression

"Known for their outlandish, experimental concoctions, Aunt Dracula straddles the line between the awesome and the bizarre, with a definite leaning towards the former" -- Philadelphia Style Magazine
