In his thought-provoking novel "Epepe" the Hungarian writer Ferenc
Karinthy tells a story about a linguist who finds himself stranded in an,
to him unknown Metropolis. A place where he doesn't understand a single
word. The result is a great but nightmarish and at parts quite
Kafkaesque story about alienation and frustration.
So what's the connection between this glimpse from the world of
"books-you-really-ought-to-read" and the first recorded music from a
Swedish Electro Pop combo working under the moniker Ghost vs. Sanne?
The connection is very obvious if you ask Ghost and Sanne Karlsson
The music that really affects you is often based on a lot more than just some
good licks and a nice hooky chorus. It's so easy to tell yourself as an
artist that it's too high-flown to mention a book like "Epepe" in
conjunction with Pop music. ”But to hell with unwritten rules like that!
If we're obviously influenced and provoked by some other art - heavy or
featherweight - we'll admit it to ourselves and to others".
Says Sanne of the Stockholm based threesome.
They decided early on to go for intuition instead of frames
decided by yourself and/or your environment. Musically and socially.
Lindstrom continues: "It's in the end about looking for something better
instead of adapting. About finding your way back to the passion you feel
when you truly believe in something. If you don't... I think you run the risk taking the
spice out of your personality and in the end that's just gonna make you lonely.
The musical result of this little private revolution redefines the
fusion between Soul and Electronic Pop. At times it's possible to
trace parts of what Ghost once contributed to three multi-platinum
albums by fellow Swede Robyn. But then arrives soundscapes never before
heard in a Swedish recording studio. Add to that 22 year old prodigy
Sanne's otherworldly voice and out comes a kind of Soul Electronica
that is immensly soulful yet provoking and edgy.
The dramatic debut single "Hold This Girl" is one key moment on the
forthcoming album. Another is the very unlikely – but extremely suiting
– remake/remodelling of the Queens of the Stone Age 2002 song "No One
Knows". A cover picked for, among aspects, the lines: "We get some rules
to follow/That and this/These and those/No one knows."
Johan Ekhé reflects on the rules of life and art: "The album is about
finding your own truth, to escape the things that suck the energy out of
you and not letting experience weigh you down.
He pauses and makes a grin: "I know it might sound pretentious,
but you know...I don't really care, cause I can't put it in a ligther way
without losing the message...”
The debut album from Ghost vs. Sanne will be released in the US digitally in April and in stores mid June 2009 on the San Fransisco based Zip
Records label through Sony RED.

Yo Ghost vs Sanneasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding a support group (read: comcert) this Friday @111 Minna in San Francisco. Doors open at 10:00. Please come, we promise it'll be a (non-meteor-related) blast.
