Editorial Reviews
Sick sea shanties of sailors, portside whores, conmen, pirates, mobsters & devils. Pump Organ, Celeste, Singing Saw, & other subjects washed up with the tide to create a picture of the docks & depths around the sea. A fragile siren drawing all who hear it to their doom.

Sick and tender.,

This review is from: Sea (Audio CD)
Beautiful little songs baste roughly on a book by the great French writer Genet.
Sad but immoral seaside tales about disease, prostitution and the meaningless life (and death) of sailors and fishermen. NOT for the squeamish. This CD deals with VD, rape and many other questionable things. Expect lots of bad language and shocking lyrics ... But still the songs are melodic, tender and thought provoking. A strong contrast between the lyrics and music makes it very entertaining and strangly beautiful. I especially like "King Neptune"; it's about a 60 year old sailor who tells tall tales about mermaids, far off seas and the many prostitutes he's slept with. If you don't know of the Tiger Lillies. This isn't a bad place to start. A masterpiece in modern Cabaret. If you are looking for one of their "cleaner" albums try; "A Gorey End" or "Shockheaded Peter". If you want something a little more fun try; Ad Nauseum. But saying that, I think this is one of their best.
