Nothing in recent musical memory is as captivating as the fervor that has grown around Cody Critcheloe and the coven of plasticene Queens and Fila-chic Warlocks he affectionately refers to as SSION. As a matter of technicality, SSION is Critcheloe’s project alone, a self-contained cosm replete with its own dress-code, lexicon and moral standards, but through his music, video art and performance he emphasizes that the world of SSION is an inclusionary one.

“My Love Grows in the Dark” is the lead single off of Bent — out Summer ’12 on Dovecote Records.
