Songs for Psychotic Children
The Vanishing's Songs for Psychotic Children is a brooding, synth-drenched plunge into gothic new-wave and deathrock theatrics.
Fronted by Jesse Eva's dramatic, Siouxsie-like wail, the guitar-less trio conjures a claustrophobic world of horror-film synthesizers, pounding drums, and murky bass lines steeped in trauma, memory, and macabre allegory. Though its over-the-top psycho-ward imagery occasionally veers into cartoonish territory, the album excels in its instrumental passages, where eerie, spacious synths evoke haunted houses and silent nocturnal terrors. A vivid, if uneven, artifact of early-2000s darkwave revivalism.
