It takes a real man to make Enya's dewdrop piano sound listenable
beyond the Aveda spa massage room. Local musician Michael Watton,
a.k.a. Haunted House, turns the Irish artist's schmaltz to art-
schmaltz on his debut--a mouthful of Catalonian Spanish--La Vida
Es Difφcil Pero Bonita Cuando Hace Sol y el Cielo Es Una Mierda
(Adonis). With a little of Andrew WK's muscle, and a
vaudevillian's sense of humor, Watton patents New Age skronk that
both noise fans and beauticians can frug to. Haunted House kicks
off a tour with Chicago's No Doctors. Their latest, Hunting Season
(Go Johnny Go), deftly mixes twitchy out-jazz with straight-from
-'67 proto-metal. An unlikely accompaniment to Watton's goofball
synths, but I imagine the two will make beautiful Muzak together.
-City Pages (citypages.com)
After listening closely to Haunted House's debut I have pretty
good reason to believe that Mike Watton, the man behind the band,
is completely insane. His record, La Vida Es Dificil Pero Bonita
Cuando Hace Sol y El Cielo Es Una Mierda (which loosely translated
means "Life is difficult but pretty when the sun shines and the
sky is shit") is an intriguing blend of powerhouse pianos,
propulsive percussion, crazy distorted keyboards and damn near
indecipherable vocals (they sound as if they're being sung though
a megaphone - but it's hard to tell). Spaced-out elevator music on
some serious methamphetamine - Watton has penned the perfect
soundtrack to accompany any future alien invasion (it's my belief
he may already be speaking their language).

The required process for creating a follow up album has already
begun in ernest. Stay tuned for new mp3s, heart wrenching
entertainment, and dancing, dancing, dancing..
