Album Review

Peter Spilles (Project Pitchfork) created this project in 2007 with a woman called Jinxy. The debut release goes by the name of ‘You’re on the Naughty List’ and was released by the end of October 2007.Close to Christmas 2009, a gift came the way for all fans of the project with the limited EP 'Rocket Heart', but stil there wasl no second album on the horizon. Well, rejoice creepy Christmas freaks, it's been finally done. The second coming 'Crucifix Powerbomb' has been released in late February 2010 already.

'Fuck That I'm Human' opens the record with spherical layers before a conglomerate of industrial rhythms takes you deeper into the SANTA HATES YOU universe. The second song 'Hexenpolizei' fires out the heavy beats like a machine gun and the commanding backstabs of Peter Spilles and Jinxy drive you on even more. 'God Is Hiding Under My Bed' speeds up the whole affair and simultaneously travels back to a rather classic sound design. 'Rocket Heart' catered for lots of nodding heads already on last year's Blackfield Festival, and those qualities it unfolds at home also. I wonder who the hell came up with the title ' You Make Me Wanna Bang My Head Against The Wall And Not In A Good Way' for the track. Apart from standing out by the title alone already, it's dominated by the seducing vocals of Jinxy and therefore will be an aural feast for the male population. 'Bootcamp', the track closing the album, bursts with contempt and fury through the way the vocals are performed. SANTA HATES YOU on 'Crucifix Powerbomb' do what they're doing best: Producing good and hard fodder for the dark dance temples, fortified with inscrutable-seeming, weird lyrics.
