Traversing fresh musical ground including the evocative flavouring of Dark Cabaret, they never fully relinquish their well-known sensually provocative sound. Blacktape emerges that much more important for its willingness to fearlessly incorporate unexpected elements into its work. They add a stronger, more theatrical component; you feel as if you are watching a powerful stage show in motion. <B>10 Neurotics<\/B> is a great album! It may be Blacktape\u2019s best!\u201d &#8211; <B>Matt Rowe, Muscictap.net: <\/B> <\/p>\n<p><BR><B>10 Neurotics<\/B> reimagines the passion of Black Tape For A Blue Girl (and visionary founder \/ songwriter, Sam Rosenthal) in a rock \/ dark cabaret setting. Sam challenged himself to put the electronics and lushness aside; he wrote these songs on the acoustic guitar, an instrument he had never played before. The results bear a more considered approach to songwriting: structured, melodic and dare say even \u201ctraditional\u201d in composition. It is a new approach to the mood and power for which Blacktape is known. <P> Featuring drum kit and bass for the first time in 20 years (courtesy of new band-member Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls &#038; The Cliks), these fourteen songs are revealing first person narratives. These are stories so unnerving and personal that <B>10 Neurotics<\/B> features an all-new line-up; the previous vocalists quit the group out of discomfort with the content. <P> Sam explains, \u201cMany of the scenes take place in the fetish lifestyle: a culture of heightened sexuality, relationship dynamics, power and control. I set out to create an album that looks at our sexuality, obsessions and fetishes with a mature (rather than sensationalized) eye. Our life is a constant churning of desires, sometimes overtaking us &#8211; more often subverted, submerged and repressed. I wanted to directly confront reality: who are we when the disguise is stripped away? I wrote from real life as a way to plug directly into the core of pure experience without filtering it, I developed something genuinely fresh and vital.\u201d <P> \u201cThese songs demanded a rock-n-roll drummer to be successful, a drummer who could rock out as well as play subtle and textural passages. I went for the best and asked Brian.\u201d Impressed with the music, he quickly joined the band. <P> \u201cBrian became much more involved than past band members, providing brilliant performances, insightful suggestions and co-producing the album. His enthusiasm reinforced my belief that I was onto something with this new direction. If I hesitated, Brian pushed me out of the safety net, \u2018No man. Leave it in. Don\u2019t hold back!\u2019 Brian told me to take it to the edge, tell the stories I wanted to tell, use the images I wanted to use!\u201d <P> The songs deal with a range of taboo topics: dominance\/submission, furries, police state fetishists, pro-anna, exhibitionists, humiliation, self-destruction, cuckolding, and anonymous sex. <P> Sam looks at his characters non-critically without judgements or excuses for their actions. Like people in our real lives, they succumb to their urges and obsessions unaware of their place on the continuum from the erotic to the neurotic. <\/p>\n<p><BR><LI>All-new band features Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls, vocalists Athan Maroulis ex-Spahn Ranch, Laurie Reade (ex-Attrition) &#038; Nicki Jaine. <LI>Guest vocal appearance by Lucas Lanthier of Cinema Strange on &#8220;Curious, Yet Afraid.&#8221; <LI>Guest appearances from Elysabeth Grant (vocals on &#8220;I Strike You Down&#8221;), Michael Laird (percussion on &#8220;Caught by a Stranger&#8221;), Lisa Feuer (flute on &#8220;Tell Me You&#8217;ve Taken Another&#8221;) &#038; Gregor Kitzis (violin on &#8220;Rotten Zurich Cafe&#8221;) <LI>10th studio album. <LI>Deluxe digi-pak w\/28-page NC-17 booklet. <\/p>\n<p><BR><a href=\"mailto:sr.projekt@gmail.com?subject=Add%20me%20to%20the%20BlackTape,%20Projekt%20AlbumPage!\"><IMG SRC=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/Box-Blacktapejoinus2.jpg WIDTH=400><br \/>\nClick to Join, hit send, and I&#8217;ll add you to the list. &#8211; Sam <\/p>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00229%2F&t=Black+tape+for+a+blue+girl%3A+10+Neurotics+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00229%2F&text=Black+tape+for+a+blue+girl%3A+10+Neurotics+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00229%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00229.jpg&description=+%0D%0A\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00229%2F&title=Black+tape+for+a+blue+girl%3A+10+Neurotics+%28CD%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blacktapeforabluegirl.bandcamp.com\/album\/10-neurotics-name-your-price\" TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1413,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,74,20,25,30,98,563,29],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1412","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-black-tape-for-a-blue-girl","product_cat-dark-cabaret","product_cat-darkwave","product_cat-ethereal","product_cat-goth","product_cat-nicki-jaine","product_cat-sale","first","instock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1412"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1412"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1412"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
