Brand new album of the Godfather of Steampunk with Bonus tracks.

Ever since his first album, 'The Werewolf of London' in 1980 captured the attention of the legendary John Peel and became a favourite at the Batcave, England's premier Goth club, Roland's albums have become much sought-after by collectors and have garnered him a loyal cult following in the US and Europe. Albums such as 'Danse Macabre', 'A Cabinet of Curiosities' and 'Bates Motel' (feat. songs written for members of the Velvet Underground) have explored, experimented and toyed with a diverse range of styles from goth through dark folk to psych pop and steampunk.
But Roland is not the type of fellow who is content to rest on past glories. 'Bitter and Twisted' offers 13 of his strongest songs to date, an aural kaleidoscope of psych-pop-postpunk-dark folk-goth rock in appetising three-minute bites.
There is the cautionary tale of plastic surgery in extremis 'I'm The Result Of An Experiment (Which Went Hideously Wrong)', the whimsical psych-out of 'Dali's Dream', the macabre story of the man who refuses to lie down and die in 'Catatonic' and an unsettling encounter with the 'Zanti Misfits' the creepy crawlies with human heads (inspired by a notoriously disturbing episode of Sixties sci-fi series 'The Outer Limits'), which is guaranteed to give you sleepless nights.
In addition, there are intimate acoustic confessions from the anarchistic Professor Feather, the tale of a rascally Dopplegänger in 'Another Me', a peek at a Wild West emporium where outlaw William Bonny's trigger finger floats in a jar on public display and a memorable visit to the asylum where ventriloquist Maxell Fyfe is possessed by the malevolent spirit of his murderous dummy 'Hugo'.

Pleasant dreams.....
