Bloody Death Skull makes music that doesn’t quite match up with their very metal-sounding name, but in no way does that imply Daiana Feuer, Gerard Olson, Beth Breen, Donna Suppipat (also of Tommy Santee Klaws) and Andres Renteria are shy with the subject matters on their latest EP “Oh My Gosh.” From “Girls Like You” (a song about prostitution) to “Will Ya Willyam” (a demanding punk marriage proposal) to “Betsy’s Back” (a toy-tinkering and possible response to “My Boyfriend’s Back”), the quintet’s self-labeled “creative absurdity” is subtle in the same manner circus music is creepy yet supernaturally enticing. Underneath the young girl coos, xylophones, ukulele, bells and shakers making it an interesting swirl of doo-wop, folk and punk, Feuer sings about anything she wishes no matter how morbid, naughty, or awkward it may be. The same goes for Feuer’s self-directed music videos; “Girls Like You” is an in-your-face stop-motion interpretation (using over 6000 shots) with some really dirty Barbies.
