For those of you who don’t know who Peter Spilles is, he’s the singer of Project Pitchfork. Once again, his twisted humor has emerged in another side project called Santa Hates You, which is conveniently releasing their first album on Halloween, not too far ahead of Christmas. It’s called You’re On The Naughty List and takes you for a ride through some kind of dystopian holiday scene. I can’t help but think of the Futurama episode where Santabot’s “naughty or nice” standards are set too high and everyone in the world is terrified of Christmas.

Santa Hates You actually sounds a lot like Project Pitchfork in many ways, like their use of similar-sounding synthesizers and deep rhythmic beats. Some of the lyrics can get funny at times, but overall they have a darker tone than you might be used to hearing from PP. The images in the booklet (and on their MySpace page) are kind of disturbing, too, but I have to admit I do like the necklace made out of Barbie doll body parts. Check out the 5 full-length songs on the band’s MySpace page. If you prefer to download rather than stream, MusicNonStop has some MP3 samples, but they are shorter and of lower quality.
