Spooky Season Spin

“Sneakyville” was the eighth and final single released by Scottish synth-pop band Secession. the song was taken from the band’s only studio LP “A Dark Enchantment” released on Siren Records.

The original incarnation comprised Peter Thomson (guitar, keyboards, synthesizer, and vocals), Jack Ross (guitar, synthesizer and vocals), Jim Ross (bass guitar), and Carole L. Branston (keyboards and vocals). The band used a small pre-programmed drum machine.

Oddly none of the band’s singles charted in the UK or US. After the release of “Sneakyville,” the band broke up and some members went on to form the alternative rock band The Vaselines.  A music video was not released for this song.

++ As a NEW bonus track I have included the Hot Tracks Remix Service mix. Mark Watkins worked with both the CD & 12″ versions. He blended them together with great expertise and voila! this great song now has a smooth intro, an intense break, and a long exit, for those procrastinating Dee-jays…

The Hot Tracks Mix was taken from Series 8, Issue 1.
