Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hideous

Shaboi

Please step in to my laboratory, are you in the mood to get exploratory? Take off your clothes and put on this gown. You look tired, go ahead, lie down. Don't be anxious, don't be nervous, you're doing mankind a tremendous service. What I do is in the name of science, I thanks you kindly for your compliance. Hold still while I find a vein, I won't lie, you'll feel some pain. Ah! That's got it and if I'm correct, it should only be a moment to take effect. Shaking and screaming is to be expected, it's true this potion's not perfected. Look at yourself, you're starting to change - oh dear Lord, you look so strange! (Stay away from me!) Now look what you did mother fiznak, you toad lookin' creepy little hunch back. A minute ago I was a beautiful girl, you stuck me with a needle and changed my whole world. Maiden to monster, I'm a disgrace - you best believe I'm gonna bite you in the face (So sorry) It's too late for your repentance, the verdict is in and death is the sentence.

Ten finely crafted songs paying homage to the ghouliest of seasons, Halloween. This debut from Shaboi is best enjoyed during the span of October. Put this one heavily on repeat and you can thank yourself later.

This album is best experienced through headphones or in a hearse.

Thanks to all my friends willing to sully their reputation by participating in this outlandish album. Shorty Tall Small for co-writing one of the best tracks and creating incredible artwork for the CD. Matt Elam for allowing me to include "Undead Headcheck" which he lyricized in about an hour last year with no preparation! Keith Parish and Ashley Fisher, two exceptionally talented musicians who added 300% polish to their respective songs. Karla for being the ultimate teammate and ego booster. And fore-mostly Michael Eades who is gracious enough to host/post the songs, not to mention wrangle the packaging and keep my asp in gear to finish a Halloween album before Thanksgiving.

Please mark this album as gapless.
