EGO PLUM
Anthology Of Infection Volume Two (Ebola Music)
Reviewed by Holly Day

I have to start this out by stating, for the record, that I am a huge Ego Plum fan. Ego Plum's music is an off-kilter combination of scary circus music and instrumental, hypnotic electronic pop, taking listeners on a strange and magical adventure to a world where clowns and cannibalism and freaks and fetishes do more than sit close to one another in the dictionary. These songs are enchanting, invoking images of cartoon penguins ice skating one minute, and the midget strippers that appear on stage with Plum during his live shows the next. Somber and playful and inherently terrifying all at once, it won't take long before you find yourself humming these songs on the bus against your will.
