growler_southThe Ghostland Observatory is a mixture of warm orange, browns, forest greens, and maybe some baby blues poured on the body by two cosmic seeds that, when ingested, make love to your soul while you are sleeping. With their spectral blend of buoyant electronics, frantic-yet-precise drumwork, cleanly hyper driven guitar, and a sometimes gasping, sometimes ecstatic vocal delivery, the Ghostland Observatory have birthed a sound that can only be described as a dripping-wet sexplosion of instant addiction.
Crikey! Their nasty mixed-up but oh so deliberate electro-punk sound is a bit of a revelation, but it sounds like that particular reviewer was on the verge of sliding off his chair.
The filthy driving bass of 'Piano Man' is currently attempting to pulverise my skull, and I couldnt be happier. 'Sad Sad City' is a lovely ditty which is entirely danceable (in private, of course, being a white boy who most definitely can't dance), and just wait until the easy-listening 'Silver City' quietly takes over your soul. And then there's the big, brash, loud 'Ghetto Magnet', the clever drumwork complementing the punk vocals. Bloody hell, did I really use the words 'punk' and 'clever' in the same sentence?
In any case, have a listen here and see if you have a dripping-wet sexplosion of instant addiction. You lucky sod.
