Dead Man's Party

Danny Elfman’s eccentric new wave ensemble reached its commercial peak with this incredibly infectious, rhythmically frantic pop-rock record. 'Dead Man's Party' surrounds dark, macabre lyrical themes regarding death and mortality with bright, hyper-energetic horn arrangements and bouncing synthesizer grooves. The album remains a delightfully quirky, highly melodic, and enduring Halloween party classic.
