"Crooked Crown", The Anniversary

Share

Published on October 17, 2002

The Anniversary's appropriately angular "Crooked Crown" toggles obliquely between a moonlit fantasy realm and a modern club where pretty darlings shake their hips. Part psychedelic showcase for furry coed harmonies, part dance-floor anthem, "Crooked Crown" forms the strongest link between these musical worlds since recreational drugs. This track leads a heavenly locals-only mix tape that also includes Tech N9ne's operatic "Industry Is Punks," Rex Hobart's supremely sorrowful "Promise to be Honest," Jade Raven's impressively assertive "Chemical Trick," the Get Up Kids' pop oasis "The Worst Idea," the Casket Lottery's aggressive, urgent "Code Red" and the Capsules' prom theme for dateless wonders "Someday."
