Music for Bats

Hey pals, I am such a huge, huge fan of this musical project that I am going to post about it. At length. It's seriously worth a quick, casual listen, and it's downright delicious for people who are into backstory.

BLACKOUT SHADES
An album of music inspired by Batman,
his acquaintances, loves, and foes
by Maiden Names
