about

In the age of "perfect music" and synthetic feeling sounds. This album delves back into early years of the delta blues guitarist and their minimal approach to music. One-take recording and capturing the feel is the cornerstone of this EP.

Combining modern recording techniques and effects with vintage inspired tones makes this work feel fresh yet familiar. With full use of the stereo image and minimalist composition as in "another day" makes a surreal image using only one acoustic guitar.
And on "Screaming Ghost" the combination of layered vocals and organ broadens and thickens op the stereo image in a more raw yet complex sound.

This album is difficult to place in a specific genre as it is neither "pure" blues nor truly acoustic but instead of trying to label something I would invite you to just listen and enjoy the warm sounds of pushed preamps and vintage tape machines played in the 'correct" and reversed way.
