Ghost Against Ghost — Still Love
Available from Our Silent Canvas Records.
While in the midst of completing the upcoming Ghost Against Ghost concept album, Oia, Ghost Against Ghost front man Christopher Bono was unexpectedly struck by a close, personal tragedy in the spring of 2014 forcing him back into the writing studio to process this new trauma through music.
Over the following months, Christopher reflected on the confusion and internal conflict that results when the life we knew and accepted as true and stable is ripped apart by disturbing revelations of a shocking betrayal and a pandora’s box of dark, misaligned secrets.
Hiro Kone — Pure Expenditure
Since assuming the recording moniker Hiro Kone in 2011, New York City-based electronic artist Nicky Mao has personalized a space predicated on dark layers interacting with rhythm. With her early EPs on Group Tightener and Bitterroots, leading up to the EP Fallen Angels and the acclaimed debut full length album, Love Is the Capital (both on Geographic North), Mao’s meticulously crafted textures attracted collaborators like Drew McDowall (Coil), Little Annie, and Roxy Farman (Wetware) while driving against the grain of experimental techno. Mao’s explorations often cast themselves against danceable structures, creating a duality of crisis and escapism. Order now from Dais Records.
Chelsea Lovitt — You Had Your Cake, So Lie In It
Imagine if Wanda Jackson, Bob Dylan and James Brown had a child, then Lou Reed was the godfather. The new record, You Had Your Cake, So Lie In It, recorded at the BOMBSHELTER in East Nashville, is that. Watch for it here.
Kelli Jones and Joel Savoy — Toi, Tu Joues à L’amour
Inspired by an old Petula Clark 45 rpm record they found in Portugal which made its way into Savoy’s vintage jukebox, Kelli and Joel’s “Toi Tu Joues à L’amour” is their first release as a duet despite them having performed together onstage and in the studio for over 10 years. This single captures the duet’s versatility perfectly, pairing a 1960’s French pop hit with a set of modern Cajun fiddle tunes from composers Michael Doucet and Al Berard, and a Cajun French love song with a set of ancient fiddle breakdowns from the legendary Cajun fiddler Dennis McGee. Both adept fiddlers and guitarists, singing songs in Cajun French and English, these two old souls effortlessly deliver good music, pure and simple.
