5 out of 5 stars Like a house that's happy to be haunted.......2004-12-13

It only took a couple of listens before "Teeth for Pearls" started to get to me--in a very good way. Suspended somewhere between troubled dream and blissful nightmare, the Dagon's third album conjures up the best of the dark genres, from badland folk and country, goth, dance and deathpop. Its sheer range and depth make it perfect for any emotion, even if you go through dozens in a single day, like I do.

4 out of 5 stars Into the depths I dive..........2004-09-17

THE DAGONS have a unique otherworldly sound which pulls at you with repeated listenings...like living seaweed in a forlorn Sargasso Sea.Backed by the gypsy-influenced drumming of Drew Kowalski, vocalist Karie Jacobson sweetly sings songs whoose lyrics glimmer with weird,psycho musings and surreal imagery of despair and longing. On the one hand you think you know what the song is about but her ethereal voice fools you...like a black widow. At one moment the music sounds like gothic "pop", then it dips into Nick Cave territory. Very creepy.
Though the cd is only 33:45 minutes long, the strange stories are carried by the drumming and various tempo changes.The sound is lo-fi, and the group at times sounds like a country-gothic Beat Happening.
Lyrics are included. THE DAGONS (named after the Philistine fish god!) seem to context all their lyrics with associations to water;the sea; and the mysteries of death through drowning and submersion...along with "things" one might feel or see in those realms of consciousness.
