Creeping out of the dark shadows and into the moon-lit spotlight comes the mysteriously frightful scores of Scissorhands. Just as the haunting spirits arise for Halloween night, so does Scissorhands’ newly spook-tacular EP, entitled Act 1. Three power-packed, craftily made tracks make up this EP, with punching drum hits and eerie vocal and instrumental samples popping out at you like a shocking, exciting walk through a haunted house. The plethora of elements that go into the work of Scissorhands’ music is comparable to that of a film composer; Every track tells its own story. The first track, entitled, This Is Scissorhands, is an introductory of himself to the listener, filled with spine-chilling choruses and grungy bass lines, with the ever-so-soft piano keys that twinkle above the music’s night sky. Let You Go, in contrast, is a self-induced mind-haunt that feels as if you are trying to escape a ghost-ridden night terror, with a more upbeat, drum and bass style that pounds like your heart in fear. And to finish off the EP, Forget Me Now starts off beautifully, with a soothing melody and caressing, female vocals – similar to the sprouting of a new love. Upon the build, the track ultimately smashes down, scattering and chopping the melodic elements into broken pieces, like a love lost but remembered forever.
And as his gift to you, dear readers, Scissorhands is releasing his Act 1 EP for free download – just in time for your haunted Halloween festivities.
