In the world of Witch House, everyone has their own particular style and influences and when you listen to just a few artists this becomes obvious...
This is also true with Marie Dior, 7 brings us something that is creepy and intense but not just through pointless atmospheric soundscapes which seems to be a default, but through a feeling of instability, edginess, hypnotic drumming, gunshot snares and Gary Numan-esque synths ... And that's just in the first two tracks!
The second two tracks bring us something completely different from the rest of the EP, something that is only slightly hinted at in the first two. 'From The Rave to The Scars' and 'Nascar Classics (Death Car)' hit you harder than you could ever expect, while keeping the edginess and discomfort of the first two tracks it brings in almost Happy Hardcore style synth lines re-contextualised for a B-Movie horror for our viewing pleasure; It's everything you'd expect from a Marie Dior track, a massive fuck off zombie rave. And it's bloody good.
(Also, 'From The Rave to The Scars' sounds like a 'Roses' by White Ring meets 'Are Friends Electric' by Gary Numan... just sayin').
