True confession: The first time I listened to Wax Fang’s<\/a> tunes, it was totally because I had to find out what kind of noises a band called “Wax Fang” was going to make. I was expecting them to be either gothy and overwrought or possibly gothy and making-sly-commentary-on-subcultural-ridiculousness. <\/p>\n

What I found is that they are neither of those things. The best way I can think of to describe it, after listening to their three new stand-alone singles, is to say they are masters of building tiny rock ‘n roll universes. <\/p>\n

Here are the songs. Each one contains a fully formed world, built out of bold guitars and augmented by piano, strings and steady drums.<\/p>\n

The Blonde Leading the Blonde<\/i>: The opening riff is the one that hooked me and drew me in, but the whole song serves as an introduction to the depth and verve of their sound.
