Music News - Ghost Wave Announce New Album Radio Norfolk and Share Video
21 June 2016 - 0 Comments
New Zealand’s Ghost
Wave return with their sophomore album Radio Norfolk.
Following on from 2013’s Ages the latest album sees the duo explore deeper into their psychedelic sound,
while adding a more electronic focus to their sunny warped songs.
From the opening track onwards Radio
Norfolk is a series of trippy, psych hooks filled with clashes of
keys, organs, and percussion. Taking minimal cues from their previous work, Radio Norfolk’s songs
dance through a colourful, hyperactive rhythm sets (All U Do Is Kill), dazed, dub-laden
melodies (Honeypunch, Blues Signal ’79),
70s jangle gems (Don’t Ask
Why, Slow Cone
Descent), the album offers no limit to the duo’s
vision. It’s the album they started a band to make, in the first
place. On top of this, they aptly brought on the talents of Spaceman 3’sSonic Boom to master
the record.
With a less serious, yet more focused, approach to their craft and seeking good
times only, they created individual production personas (Malcolm S/ Dr
Billy) and huddled up for a year in their Auckland studio, Breeze N Soul (named
after the Kool &
The Gang song).
Ghost Wave started life in 2012 as the brainchild of Matt Paul (Vocals, Guitar). What was a
initially a project relegated to a small room in Auckland, New Zealand over
time the sonic chemistry he was cooking up caught the attention of fellow music
maker and soon-to-be collaborator Eammon
Logan (Drums). Together they self-recorded what came to be
their self- titled EP and followed this up with debut album Ages.
Inspired by skate vids, Persian rugs and the music of Little Richard, you
could simply characterize Ghost
Wave by jangly guitars underpinned by motor-style rhythms and a
unique melodic sensibility. Yet, with Radio
Norfolk they have gone further than that, creating something even
more captivating and intriguing. In their own words it’s “ ...the countdown to the meltdown.”
Radio Norfolk is out in New Zealand on 8th of July and worldwide on 5th of August. The next
single Honeypunch drops on 24th of June.
Ghost Wave play
their album release show on 8th of July at the Las Vegas Strip Club Auckland- with special guest Peach
Milk.
