LISTEN: “The Littlest Monster” by Thunderclap

Just in time for Halloween, Niagara Falls performance artist Thunderclap has released an entertaining Halloween themed song with “The Littlest Monster”.

On the song the artist says,

I wrote the nuts & bolts of this song on Halloween 5 years ago in the deep woods of Quebec with the celebrated writer Leigh Kotsilidis. On the fly I took some friends out last Halloween to guerrilla film a night of trick or treating knowing that I was going to release it the following year, sooo it was only 3 weeks ago that I finished the song, recorded a demo, edited the video, got my animator collaborator to do his part, recorded the final version (with Matt Keighan) and abracadabra!

The artist further adds,

But my most strategic tool for this particular project: a hard deadline, baby…

I toiled for the perfect lyrics although they came relatively fast. I wanted the song to give kids the type of willies that MJ’s Thriller gave me when I was a lad; as well as the fun of the Monster Mash & I feel I achieved that. It all turned out to have a vaudevillian feel which I didn’t plan for but certainly gives it its own fingerprint.
