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. ▄███▄ ▄███▄ ▀███▄ ▄ ▄ ▄███▀ ███▌ ▄▓██ ██▓▄ ▐███ ███▄▓██▀██ ██▀██▓▄███ ▀████ ▐█▌ ▐█▌ ████▀ ▀▀ ▄██▓ ▓██▄ ▀▀ ▄▄██▄ ▄▄██████▓ ▓██████▄▄ ▄██▄▄ ▀▀████████▀ ███▄ ▄▄▓▀ GROUP iNFO ▀▓▄▄ ▄███ ▀████████▀▀ ▀▓████ ███████▀ ▀███████ ████▓▀ ███ ▄▄ ▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▄▄ ███ ███▀ PURPOSE: ▀███ ▄▓▀ ▀▓▄ hXc was founded with one sole purpose: to help unknown and underground bands get the recognition they deserve.
