Boingo
A sprawling, dark departure from their neon-lit past. Gritty alternative rock meets cinematic orchestration in a cynical, mid-90s swan song.

This album represents a total shedding of skin. Gone are the frantic horn sections and the jittery, ska-infused energy that defined the band's 1980s output. In its place is something far more skeletal, heavy, and grand. It feels like the musical equivalent of a funhouse being dismantled at midnight: the bright colors are fading, the machinery is grinding, and the shadows are lengthening. It is a record that fully embraces the alternative rock zeitgeist of 1994 while maintaining the eccentric, theatrical DNA of Danny Elfman's songwriting.
