Ice Nine Kills have just shared their new Batman ’89-inspired single and video, The Laugh Track.
Featuring Spencer Charnas channelling Jack Nicholson’s Joker, the frontman enthuses: “Why be a brooding bat when you can have the last laugh? After all, Jack Nicholson got top billing in Batman ’89. While Michael Keaton’s haunted Bruce Wayne is outstanding, young Spencer was drawn more to the Clown Prince Of Crime.
“The Laugh Track is our homage to Tim Burton’s dark and gorgeous gothic Gotham,” Spencer continues. “Batman ’89 took its comic book material seriously, but it was far from grounded, and never forgot to have fun. It’s the same tightrope we walk in Ice Nine Kills, with broad, maniacal smiles.
“Terry Kiser returns in the video – although the rumours of Miles’ demise are exaggerated. And it brings a warm human smile to my face to introduce Matthew Lillard and Phil Morris to the INKverse. Like Prince before us, The Laugh Track will have you dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight.”
