SONGS: OHIA - Ghost Tropic LP Death Rock

SONGS: OHIA - Ghost Tropic LP Death RockThe sound movement on GHOST TROPIC will seem sudden to some; without warning. To others, it'll seem a very logical step in a very foreign direction. On its fifth proper full length, Songs: Ohia has stepped outside the box and has delivered its most subtle record of fantastic depth to date. Indeed this is the most cohesive and "album like" Songs: Ohia has ever been. The eight songs on the record sprawl out into one another, telling one long sonic tale,

then erupt into manic fits

This band from Oakland feat

three strong voices unite to create a work of remarkable clarity of expression of enormous sorrow

Specifically

Made up of current or former members of Graf Orlock

integrating cutting-edge technology and processes into his practice to ensure that each record sounded as contemporary and exhilarating as the last

Indeed this is the most cohesive and "album-like" Songs: Ohia has ever been

most majestic gear with heard from Brad

I used Field Recordings and Shortwave Radio Manipulations and Electronics

When the rhythm section isn't driving us closer to armageddon it's providing a pounding tribal backdrop for brooding and disaffected witchy incantations

Surely this album will leave those expecting such fare scratching their heads

played with brotherly clairvoyance and constancy
