Ralph Fiennes, head nearly shaved, thin frame draped in mud-brown haberdashery, stands in an implied graveyard and works his mouth into a sour scowl as he says he doesn't mind the smell of corpses. "A trifle on the sweet side perhaps, a trifle heady, but how infinitely preferable to what the living emit, their feet, teeth, armpits, arses, sticky foreskins and frustrated ovules."

On “Graveyard Girl,” Gonzales resurrects the perfect moment of the music he reveres. The choruses are so sublimely immersed in living sonics—and balanced ingeniously against verses with little more than drums and vocals—that the transitions between the two are huge, bright, and explosive. The listener...
