2008, Lujo Records
Another chapter in the epic artistry and creativity of Suffering & The Hideous Thieves. Jeff Suffering is a controversial and mysterious veteran of the Seattle music scene, and his terrifying and beautiful music is played by a gypsy legion of vagabond musicians known as the Hideous Thieves. The music on their new eleven-song recording 'Rats In Heaven' -- which seamlessly flows from sounding like drunken waltzes recorded in Paris cellar parties during the French Revolution to depraved Dadaist noir theatre music to enchanted post-nuclear holocaust love ballads -- should have been one for which the term 'chamber pop' was invented. A gripping, baroque recording, it's a must-have for old and new fans alike or anyone who likes Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Nick Cave.
