ROCK: Goth, METAL: Alternative Metal
Details:
"We move in circles, it's the nature of things."
-Gone to Texas
"A duo who has been kicking around for over a decade: hailing from Texas - [Jessica's Crime] combine [new] wave, gothic and dark western influences to create a listenable yet edgy sound. With resonance of Fields of the Nephilim, New Order and Johnny Cash - if you like music that feels fresh and has thoughtful lyrics, check out their new album Gone to Texas."
-Asleep By Dawn webzine
Jessica's Crime return in 2006 with their third full length album, the epochal 'Gone to Texas.' A stark and violent journey through the dreamlike landscape of a mythical West, 'Gone to Texas' evokes the surrealistic narrative of King's 'Gunslinger' and the psychological complexity of Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness.' Musically, Jessica's Crime's fractured country aesthetic spills headlong into relentless, mechanized percussion, overlaid with a complex lattice of gonzoid guitar riffing and mercurial, whiskey tenor vocals. The overall effect is weirdly familiar yet decidedly without parallel, providing equal measures of visceral and intellectual satisfaction, rarely encountered in popular music. This CD release also includes a twelve-page, full-color booklet with lyrics, liner notes, and vignette-style illustrations throughout.
NB: The sound clips at left are apallingly lo-fi. If you would like to hear a much closer approximation of the actual compact disc (albeit still compressed), please check out the four free preview tracks available at http://www.myspace.com/jessicascrime
One fan, after submitting a review to another website, was kind enough to email us with his thoughts on the matter:
"Gone to Texas is a concept record... a western rock-opera in two acts (the division of songs by "strophe" and "antistrophe" is a nod to classical Greek theater). I leave it to you all to work out the fine details, but suffice it to say, it involves murder, vengeance, childhood love, loss, and (possibly) some kind of redemption. But don't let the "concept" fool you- each song stands on its own, with scads of catchy hooks and memorable guitar riffs and bass lines. It's somewhat difficult to cite comparative material for a record like this, but fans of the Sisters of Mercy, early Fields of the Nephilim, Nick Cave, James Ray's Gangwar, and (dare I say it?) even Shriekback will probably find allot to like here."
