Hungry Ghosts
-----------------------------------------------
---------------------------------
Biography
On an off night in Melbourne on Sonic Youth's
98 Australian tour, Steve Shelley and Luc Suer
set out to hear ex-Birthday Party and These
Immortal Souls stalwart Rowland S. Howard play
a local pub. They missed the man but caught his
young proteges: Hungry Ghosts, a trio of dour
lads who proceeded to blow the doors off the
place with a wild storm of flickering Fender
sparkle, Jaguar growl, bass drum boom, and
minimal martial snare.
That show and their self-released EP were
impressive enough to prompt an invitation from
Steve to come up from down under to make a new
record. So in June 99 the band set up shop at
Tribeca Recording, with Steve producing and Luc
engineering, and cut 15 tracks of sweet outback
soul, dusty red ballads that drip, curl, and
spark.s
Initial listens will prove the Ghosts have
expertly absorbed the ruff wailing waltzes and
swoopingly tidal minor movements of their
countrymen the Dirty Three (not to mention the
barroom baroque of the Boys Next Door brood:
Birthday Party, Bad Seeds, These Immortal
Souls, etc). Subsequent listens yield grander
rewards they've significantly expanded this
palette by using equal measures of conventional
chops and avant technical antics; liberally
rotating instruments including electric and
acoustic guitars, a wide range of tuned
percussion, trap kit, fiddle, accordian, organ;
and deftly deploying elements of Spanish,
Eastern European, Middle Eastern South East
Asian and American idioms. The result is a
unique brand of combustive folk music, where
primitive punk roots patrol a more mature
Morricone/Badalamenti beat.
Alone Alone
slr039
This is no cliched soundtrack without a film,
but is a sound track that stands alone. Divided
into three programs - Before After, Alone
Alone, and No Wake - the album's standout cuts
include No Prior Conviction, a bold Morriconian
lament that would surely make Clint cry; the
title track's tremolo-tumbling ur-chords and
silky Loren Mazzacane-isms dissolving into
SY-style rumblings; Float, a delicate chiming
lullaby sliced by fiddle cascading over
metallic dronage; and Come, with its gamelan
goofin', reminiscent of Oval, underlaying more
serpentine leads and some subtle slide.
