The Casket Girls

Saturday, Aug. 16 @ Georgia Theatre Rooftop

Savannah-based sisters Phaedra and Elsa Greene play vaporous, drugged-out goth-pop adorned with spooky synths and sunny melodies—the soundtrack to a day at the beach… in hell. The duo's latest, the True Love Kills the Fairy Tale LP—released in February on boutique Georgia label Graveface Records, is campy but catchy, the Greenes' collaborative creepiness a counterpart to their adept instrumentation. At times, it even flirts with pop greatness; tunes like "Ashes and Embers" would be mainstream radio staples if they weren't so goddamn glum. The Casket Girls' music is synth-pop for cave dwellers, chillwave for the clinically depressed.
