SPIRIT IN THE ROOM - New EP Out Now

Spirit In The Room has released a new EP, Flamingo, via Housecore Records. In celebration of the new EP, Spirit In The Room offered a brain-bending visualizer for the track "I Used To Be A Machine", which is available in the player below.
 
If you ever wondered what goes on in the head of a film noir hitman, horror novel asylum inmate, or a golden age silver screen villain, it might sound something like Spirit In The Room. The vision of Louisiana-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Dennis R. Sanders unfurls through cigarette smoke, cheap booze, and distortion like an anachronistic fever dream soundtracked by a collision of gothic vocal hues, immersive alternative architecture, and jarring metallic catharsis. It's scary at times. It's sad at other times. However, it's always unpredictable - especially on the new EP, Flamingo.

"Flamingo is a character", notes Sanders. "It could be anybody who lives a chaotic-slash-exotic lifestyle. There has been a bird presence in my family for the longest time. You've seen flamingos; they're beautiful and strange. Flamingo could be a stripper or an errand boy for some really scandalous entity. To me, Flamingo is just very after hours."

Spirit In The Room remains comfortable in the dark. Audiences initially met Sanders as part of Black Light Burns. However, he introduced Spirit In The Room in 2010 before revealing a series of projects - The Holy Phobia, Pt. 1 EP (2014), Demon (2015), and Spirit In The Room, Vol. 1 EP (2019) - in between various singles and countless shows. Along the way, the band also performed on bills with Deftones, ††† (Crosses), Scour, and more. Link
