Justin Moyer, the one-man behind the cross-dressed Edie Sedgwick project, he of Dischord Records heroes El Guapo and Antelope, released “Her Love is Real…But She is Not” back in 2005, a charming, if a little off-putting, record of electro-clash that told the stories (kinda) of various celebrities. “Sigourney Weaver” was that record’s standout; live, Moyer performed it with a backstop video screen that displayed a carefully edited video taken from James Cameron’s “Aliens.” Amusing, it was. Edie Sedgwick is back with “Things are Getting Sinister,” a second round of sorts on which Moyer offers musings on Sissy Spacek, Angelina Jolie, Rob Lowe and even full-length films like “March of the Penguins” and eighties cult classic “Red Dawn.” An atypical experience, and one that you worry is supposed to be a completely serious one.
