I Will Find A Way To Reach You, b/w Spoken
Released 3rd September 2007

Available from:
TuneTribe.com




“Inspiring and gorgeous, albeit heartbreaking, classical-countered sophisticated pop.
Emotionally colossal, sublimely stately and elegant wide-screen pop of the highest order, that delicately caresses and rises with tumultuous intensity at the drop of a hat.”

Losing Today

“This music is dream-like and melancholy. The songs approach you quietly, yet their resonance casts a spell.
It's a mixture of magical, touching, somewhat off-beat and yet, despite pop elements, anything but simplistic...”

Nonpop

“The mind is shaken by the sound of the bliss, encompassed by a delicate, sublime orchestra.”
Izo-Dreams

   About Rhys Marsh And The Autumn Ghost
Rhys Marsh, born in England, now living in Norway, is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer.

His ‘multi-national orchestra’, The Autumn Ghost, features members of Jaga Jazzist, Änglagård and Anekdoten. Their debut album, ‘The Fragile State Of Inbetween’, was released last year to great acclaim. As well as this, Rhys is the singer in The Opium Cartel, Ignore, Okasa and Unit.

Rhys is currently finishing the second Autumn Ghost album, which will be out in the autumn. After that, work will begin on a new rock project and a solo folk record.

As you can probably tell, he always needs to be working on at least two records at the same time!




Rhys Marsh And The Autumn Ghost's debut album, The Fragile State Of Inbetween, is out now on Better Place Recordings. It comes in a beautiful, nature-friendly digipak and it sold out at Platekompaniet and from Burning Shed on its day of release.

It is available from:

Scandinavia / Europe...

Japan...

Canada...

USA...

France...



Download the lyrics

The album has garnered some rave reviews and Rhys has been interviewed by Adresseavisen, Norway Rock Magazine and NRK, on which he also played a live session.

The first single, Liquorice Kiss, has just been released and it has already been played on BBC Radio in England.

For this organic and lush affair, Rhys has drafted in an incredible amount of musicians to accompany him. Seventeen, in fact, taken from such bands as Jaga Jazzist, Änglagård and Anekdoten.

On the record, which was two years in the making, you'll hear choirs of hushed voices, acoustic guitar, piano, double bass, fretless bass, three drummers, two flutes, trumpet, pedal steel, a string section and Mellotron. Yet, despite the potential for complete wall-of-sound syndrome, there's still an impressive amount of space.


“Richly-orchestrated dramatic pop.”
Adresseavisen

“Melancholic and complex music, filled with unexpected chord progressions, rich layers of Mellotron and emotionally-loaded vocals.”
Norway Rock Magazine

“It may challenge your idea of what progressive music should sound like in 2008.”
Tarkus Magazine

“A beautiful auburn empire.”
DotShop.se

“A dreamy slice of progressive pop that doesn’t sound quite like anything else we’ve heard in a long time.”
Popsicle

“Inspiring and gorgeous, albeit heartbreaking, classical-countered sophisticated pop. This is a demurring 10 track collection that veers between heartbreak and euphoria, whilst touching base with all the boundaries between.
A dizzying spectacle of spell-woven beauty...”

Losing Today

“Nick Drake is the obvious touchstone here, but Marsh doesn’t sound like a clone. Instead, like kindred spirit Eric Matthews, Marsh is an unabashed fan of the same shimmering folk/pop sound and wants to adapt to the 21st century. Based on this beautiful record, he’s succeeded handily.”
The Big Takeover

“‘The Fragile Of Inbetween’ is sophisticated pop-prog at its best. It is a charming and great album, which in its field, stands like a monolith and supersedes most of what we have heard in the past years.”
Merlin Prog

“These songs rise from near-silence to a full-on assault of the senses within a heartbeat, then curl up again in a sea of melancholy.”
BBC Radio6

Hi, thanks Rhys!
The Zipper is a result of getting pro tools and learning basic recording. Inspiration came from an old Electro-Harmonix filter stomp box called zipper that makes that intro sound. It..s a fun little thing.
Looking forward to hear your tunes live soon!

Best

"where is my emotion, then."
Francesco Giannico





Jun 19 2009 9:28 AM



The fluttering of distant memories comes to life through the sounds of Francesco Giannico, whose blend of electronics and acoustic instruments paint beautiful pictures of lost times. His musical approach is described as a cinematic journey which pushes the boundaries of digital media even further by incorporating smooth melodies and gentle textures. More traditional instruments such as guitar and piano are constantly present into Francesco’s music, within interrupted structures or long and dreaming sonorous carpets.

Thank you boyo! I'm glad you enjoyed them.

My Dad loves the phrase "the warbling white box" - something in that I think?!

Are you well? How are things?

Hi Rhys, and thanks for the warming concert at Parkteatret last month. I fancy your recordings even more, though, so maybe I should give it a try when the studielån arrives?

Anyway, thanks for listening. I'm not gonna stop yet either. Good luck, and we'll meet one day, I'm sure.
