A Wilhelm Scream uses its muses - Argus Leader
Two of the most striking titles on A Wilhelm Scream's latest album, "Ruiner," attack well-known indie-rock heroes.
"Me vs. Morrissey in the Pretentiousness Contest (The Ladder Match)" and "Less Bright Eyes, More Deicide" both suggest some cynicism toward the hipster heroes name-dropped in the titles.
And Reilly says that's what the kids think. Though, "I'm actually a huge Morrissey fan," he says.
The tune basically sneers at the pedestal people put musicians, and artists, upon.
"I use the term 'artist' very, very loosely. I don't really consider myself an artist," Reilly says, his Boston accent coming through the phone line. "I think it's a really pretentious thing to say, especially in this day and age when everybody is called an artist."
