Particle Zoo - "into the fray"


Particle Zoo's "Into The Fray" is an audio scavenger hunt through Danny Elfman's 1980's apartment. Discarded papers, cassette tapes with scribbled dates upon them to denote ideas and flights of fancy, that he may or may not realize with Oingo Boingo, but more than likely logged away in his mind for as some yet untitled band/solo project. The voice isn't the same, but the adventurous nature of the proceedings is in place, only with more of the California air blowing through and lifting it,instead of the mescal-inspired Dia De Los Muertos cavorting that usually alters the proceedings.

An adventurous soundscape to fill the speakers of an adventurous mind, "Into The Fray" will more than likely be heard emanating from the college dorm of your choice.

Rating 6/10
