The Greene sisters spend most of it singing shoegazer ballads in flat, sing-song harmonies. Everything is slowed down for maximum goosebump factor; many tracks aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t so much sung as recited like horror-flick nursery rhymes. Add in a genteel fascination with the afterworld, and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got the best album released this year by folks who are possibly undead .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ryan Graveface is of course the driving force behind the label Graveface Records and two retail stores (the 2nd is opening soon inside Civvies on Broughton) named Graveface Records &#038; Curiosities.<\/p>\n<p>I posted <a
