"the Creatures"

Boomerang is the second studio album by British duo the Creatures (a.k.a. singer Siouxsie Sioux and musician Budgie). The album was recorded in Spain with Mike Hedges, in Jerez de la Frontera, in the southeast part in Andalusia in the province of Cádiz. It featured brass arrangements including trumpet, trombone and saxophone. Boomerang received widespread critical acclaim from British music critics, who praised Siouxsie's vocals and the choice of a wide range of musical styles on the album, including blues, jazz and Spanish styles such as flamenco. The album was later hailed by singer Jeff Buckley, who covered the song "Killing Time". The album was released to critical acclaim. NME's Roger Morton qualified it as "a rich and unsettling landscape of exotica", praising "the pre-eminence of Budgie's Spanish-tribal-jazz drumming". Simon Reynolds of Melody Maker stated that "Boomerang abounds with scarcely anticipated brilliance", qualifying it as "inventive and invigorated music".

Throughout 2016, guitarist John 5 (best known for his work with Rob Zombie) debuted four music videos for his John 5 and the Creatures project and now things are coming into sharper focus with a full length effort on the way. Season of the Witch will be released on March 3, the same day the group will be kicking off a U.S. tour. The band is a trio consisting of John 5, bassist Ian Ross and drummer Rodger Carter and is an instrumental outfit with a diverse range of influences as evident by previously released songs like “Now Fear This” and “Here’s to the Crazy Ones.” Together, they explore rock and metal elements mixed in with funk, country western moments and, of course, John 5’s more virtuosic abilities, especially while soloing.
