HALF GIRL HALF BEAST
SINGLE/
OCT 2022
Lo Carmen & The Great Beyond resurrect subterranean ode to primal desires ‘Half Girl Half Beast’.
“Gloriously dreamy and swampy…Part CCR, part Gun Club and Screaming Jay Hawkins, there’s a snaking blues mist running through the psych garage song with its ominous backbeat and some superb exotica Hammond organ courtesy of the legendary Peter Head. Draped in reverb, the song dials perfectly into a kind of Halloween noir, with Carmen seeking to balance the internal forces of good and evil, prim and primal.” Doubtful Sounds
