The original Wax Museum recordings were midnight forays with the studio very much used as a compositional tool. Contrapuntal melodies, cleverly sequenced synthesizers, multiple percussive layers and vocal choirs reminiscent of an Orffian choir defined the approach. The sound doesn’t get stripped down for the live stage either. They combine electronic beats and organic percussion to full effect resulting in their unique textural sound. Pounding afro-dance rhythms and classic, dreamy synth try as they may to veil the ferocious punk energy within, but alas, the spirt of 79 inevitably bleeds through. They aim to create music that could be equally at home in dance clubs as they would in underground punk grottos. Lyrically they are eclectic, at times absurd. The songs smack of dipsomaniacal, forlorn socially disobedience, although you’d forgive the listener for overlooking that. They sing multiple languages due to the international makeup, namely: from Japan, Czechia, Britain, France and Ireland. Each member has a hand in the composition and the role of focal point vocally is constantly in motion. Wax Museum say their motto is to be a “Chamber of Horrors against the establishment”. Like their heroes Funkadelic, they are one nation under a groove.
