There's always room for a little spook-rock on The Rawking Refuses To Stop! and Roommate 's We Are Enchanted is our latest haunter. Kent Lambert's doom-bringing lead vocals bear the same weird weight as those of John Vanderslice or Division Day 's Rohner Segnitz, eerie and ghost-light but still forceful enough to be the center of attention. The band shares a number of musical similarities wit...
