Every Joke Is Half The Truth

Ten songs make up the debut album from SCARY MANSION, the project of songwriter LEAH HAYES based in Brooklyn. Forming a trio with BRADLEY BANKS and BEN SHAPIRO, Hayes spent the better part of a year recording with KYLE FISCHER (RAINER MARIA), documenting her frail voice and the Appalachian Thunderstick, a banjo-like instrument. The resulting tracks are a revelation, tender and melodic meditations on characters and emotions with the sonic gravitas to back it up.
