Okay, I bought the album and I have to say, I'm blown away! The tone and atmosphere that the album sets, the imagery it conjures, it's amazing! It's not campy, and so dark and intelligent, like how I remember the animated series.
Part of the fun is figuring out which song is singing about which character. Songs like Blackout Shades is easy: Two Face. Do all the songs correlate to a specific character, or no?
@AGrayPhantom Hi, it's Alexa...the singer and lyrics writer. I'm so glad you're enjoying the album! Thank you for your kind comments! Each song was indeed written with a certain character (or characters) in mind. If you'd like to listen to a podcast interview about the album, including song-by-song breakdown, it can be found here: mingdoyle (dot) com/makebelievers/2011/11/episode-9-blackout-shades/
@lovenothingness You're welcome, Miss Alexa. You deserve all the praise. I'll definitely check out the podcast interview, but not before I write down my theories on each song to see how we match up ;-).
As an aside, I happen to know a guy who is like the real-life version of Batman. I'm sure he'd love to get to know you ;D
@GettingRoundTheRules Hi, it's Alexa (the singer)! I'm so glad you like this song/video! You can hear the whole album here: maidennames . bandcamp . com Lots of other villains represented!
@THdattebayo I kind of hear it. Where can I buy the album? I'd love to look at the lyrics. Is there a Jervis Tetch song? It can be about being underrated and mad about how Poison Ivy stole his mind control schtick.
Hi, it's Alexa (the singer). I have a youtube, but there's nothing on it yet. Hopefully I can make some more videos! Making this one with Neil was an awesome experience and I'm so glad you like it!
Gorgeous video, of course (almost goes without saying, but...well, gotta say it) and actually a really decent song, enjoyed it. Wish she'd sung some of it a little bit higher though, because that sounds like where her strength lies and really liked that tone.
I just downloaded the EP/Single thing from the bandcamp page and I was not dissapointed! The song sounds brilliant, I'd like to hear some more from this band.
Holy ****, three gods are talking in the comments and I am in their presence. Pinch me, I must be dreaming. Just kidding. But seriously, I have admired the work you guys have done for the last four years, thanks for the laughs and randomness.
As much as I love your silly/fun videos, it is really refreshing to see you put your skills to work on serious projects. The shot at 1:45 in particular is awesomely timed, very effective.
YES. Just yes. :D

@AGrayPhantom It's about Dr. Jonathan Crane, a.k.a. The Scarecrow who, as you may know, is a Batman villain.

Very haunting and hypnotic. The band has a pretty cool sound, IMO.
