Sounds Like"Insanely loud industrial beats cluttered with overwhelmingly claustrophobic noise and the terrifying shouts of a man who seems to be on the verge of a grand mal seizure. Great stuff."

   About Ghostigital

while you read, listen to the album!
this is the tracklisting.

Einar Örn Vocals
Curver Electronics, Tape Delays, Gadgets


It seems that when Einar Örn (former SUGARCUBES and K.U.K.L. front man) enlists another artist to work with him, it's like collaborating with the Cubists, or the Dadaists in musical form. His partner in this case, with the movement named Ghostigital, is Curver. An Icelandic multi-instrumentalist, Curver's background is as eclectic as the music he dabbles in: a producer, artist, a remixer (Sigur Ros) , a music teacher. Ghostigital's Les Demoiselles de Avignon is named In Cod We Trust.
Welcome! You're really in for a fantastic treat.

For those new to the sonic world of Ghostigital, you should know that there doesn't seem to be any floor plan to the music, even though there is architecture. It';s best you just relax, release preconception, don't think or analyze too much. Here's an idea: let us do the analyzing so the thoughts don't get in the way of your listening experience. Know the music will come to you the way it wants to; you are not in control.

Often it seems that neither is Einar. His vocal tone evokes the everyday man hung on an everyday line and pushed to extremes, but extremes that for the moment are livable and sometimes amusing. His rap does not spew harsh violence but the cool cosmically comic fright-journalism of breakfast in workaday hell.

Unmistakably Icelandic, their subjects could have multiple national origins & exchange codfish for... well, anything and you get the meaning. In 1940s America, fish was slang for the dollar and there, the joke of the album is easily apparent. Whether Einar is commenting on what he sees while standing in line at the grocery store, men who are fixated on fish or seeing the Northern Lights through a headache, his songs are still stories of relationships with average living, a lifestyle that merges the mundane with the sublime.

While the genre-mashing In Cod We Trust pulls the aesthetic rug out from under a listener's expectations, one should not fear that they are lost in a pop music sea. Ghostigital fashions an aural forest of industrial, Bel Canto, Jazz, Rap, 80's New Wave, and Electronic music & just not necessarily in that order or only at one time.

For this album they recruited: Ipecac Recordings label mates Mugison and Dalek in the USA, as well as Mark E. Smith, Sensational, KatieJane Garside, Steve Beresford, Asa Jnusdttir and Hrafn Asgeirsson including Einar's own son Kaktus playing trumpet.

This is the player and tracklisting.

The record is released my Honest Jons in the UK. Ipecac in USA and Europe. Smekkleysa in Iceland.

Release date: March 7, 2006







There are some great rarities now available via the new Smekkleysa shop. Bands like Purrkur Pillinikk, the incredible Frostbite, Curver and many more which are interesting. Have a lookie lookie...

Don Goliath "Bagstep EP" (DDR030) is out now!

Review:
"Don Goliath's "Bagstep EP" (DDR030) is one of those innovative EPs showcasing how versatile Dubstep can get. The unique idea of creating Dubstep versions of celctic (Irish as well as Scottish) folk classics for all you drunkards longing to sing along was Don Goliath's motto when producing this madness. The concept is as simple as effective: he picked 4 of your grandpa's favourites such as "Old Skibbereen", "Scotland the Brave", "Drunken Sailor" and "Amazing Grace" having the melody played by a definitly non-sober Bagpipe section and then layering it with lofi mid range wobbleism - we therefor call it Bagstep. Overall production quality is high grade with that intense sub focus so you can blow-dry your hair right in front of the bass bins. Now let's get into the tunes: "Skibbereen Bagstep" is one of the melancolic minor tunes expressing Irish history as it is. It is an unmixable 3/4 waltz beat at unusual 154bpm, well dancebal though when one moves to the triplets. "Bagstep the brave" should be one of the sickest rebuilds of the Scottish national anthem making it Mel Gibson's signature tune if he had one. "Drunken Bagstep" is a Glitchfest version of the sailors anthem capable of getting you uberdrunk by listening alone, Arrrr! "Amazing Bagstep" is as religious as it gets making it a tune that'll certainly safe xamounts of lost souls.
Enjoying the dancefloor got even easier now: drink out the bar, make your skirt fly and sing along to these (future) classics!
Some will hate this release and some will love it, there barely is anything in between. All Dubstep Division crew salutes the latter as our fellow beerheadz! cheeeeeerz!"

Sigo muy preocupada con este tema,
y ya han pasado meses...

No comprendo que pretende,
ni cuales son sus verdaderas motivaciones,
la verdad, cada dia entiendo menos todo esto,
pero aunque no me llame y
no sepa nada de él...
siempre apoyaré a mi hijo
incluso en una locura como esta.


Muchas gracias por estar ahí.

Arriba te dejo una img de mi hijo x si no sabes quien es.
