Haunted Hearts - Initiation

Review by Jon Clark

Despite the inconsistency of the tracks displayed here, Initiation is a neat collaboration; there is no point where anything feels jarring or out of place.»

Many years dreamt, one cold winter realized, Haunted Hearts is Dee Dee Penny (Dum Dum Girls) and Brandon Welchez (Crocodiles). It is not the melding of two bands; it
is a true collaboration. The duo's first full-length album, entitled 'Initiation', was written in the winter of 2012, holed up in their apartment, surrounded by a lot of books, Motown and krautrock. It was recorded by Jon Greene at Electric Orange Studios in San Diego, mixed by Jorge Elbrecht (Ariel Pink / Violens) at Static Recording in Brooklyn, and mastered by Joe La Porta at Sterling Sound in New York City.
