Other tracks on the record that capture this soundscape include " No Justice," which fits in line with the goth midnight dance floor, the slow-burning " Turning In Reverse," and the chaotic " Sanctified." The track is truly hypnotic and sounds like it could be right at home in a John Carpenter ( Halloween, The Thing) movie. The night portion of Joe's analogy is perfectly represented in opening track " Livin Dead," which immediately starts off with eerie, blaring synths before pulsating drums and arresting vocals kick in. The hard songs are for when the sun is gone and the cuts without percussion are for the day after the primal beating." I always thought the record functioned on a day to night level. "There’s a lot of material that is nostalgic ambient. Only half the record lives in that territory though," explains Cardamone. "I do think the death disco label we've been given could apply to portions of the material.
"The material we wanted to do together seemed to take well to the idea that our personas here are as if we’re now outcasts to our own creative selves. Skeleton Joe because we both have assumed these alter egos over the years,” says Cardamone about the origins of the project. “When you have done as much stuff as Joe and I, you have to constantly search for the different and challenging to keep yourself engaged.”
“The fact that it's not like anything either one of us have done before is what makes this so interesting for me,” explains Lanegan. And while he's worked many legendary acts over his career, DMvsSJ marks a new band for Lanegan, not a guest spot or featured artist. A prolific artist and author, Lanegan has collaborated with a host of bands and musicians, including UNKLE, Neko Case, The Duke Spirit and Queens of the Stone Age among many others. Skeleton Joe (DMvSJ) mines electronic music and unearths an experimental sound for both of them, a sound coined "gothic death disco" by Louder Sound.
