Ghostnotes: Daddy's Got A Gun

Here Comes The Flood — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:29:00 GMT

Torre Florim has put up an example of on-the-fly songwriting on Ghostnotes:

This was made on a summer night, somewhere in 2010. One of those songs that just ‘happened’.

While I was trying out some new gear in the studio, Jaap, Lea and Jop dropped in. I had a beat, Jaap grabbed the bass, the devil posessed Lea and next thing I know we had a song.

Recorded in our old dusty farm.

Lea: vocals & lyrics
Jop van Summeren (De Staat): vocals
Jaap van den Berg (Black Bottle Riot): bass, guitar
Torre Florim (De Staat): drums, guitar

The Cult: Choice of Weapon

Here Comes The Flood — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:38:00 GMT

Law suits, break-up, reunion, a hiatus and another reunion. The Cult have survived it all. Founding members Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy have persevered over the years. Few bands can get way with sounding pretty much the same over the decade, but The Cult can. Their new album Choice of Weapon has their signature guitar sound and the current rhythm section is a rumbling freight train. Astbury's voice may have lost a bit of hits reach, but has retained the dark overtones and anger that made them a household name since the mid-Eighties.

Produced by Bob Rock, Choice of Weapon is a nostalgia trip of sorts. The Cult are here to stay, never mind their doom laden lyrics about the world going down in flames, predatory animals and evasive damsels in distress. That has also been part of the package since they started out in 1983. Expect to see a sea of high held cellphones during the power ballad Life > Death.

The Cult:
Ian Astbury: lead vocals, percussion
Billy Duffy: lead guitar
Chris Wyse: bass
John Tempesta: drums

Choice of Weapon is released on Cooking Vinyl. The Deluxe edition has comes with a bonus CD with four tracks that were recorded when putting the album together.

Tracks:

Honey from a Knife
Elemental Light
The Wolf
Life > Death
For The Animals
Amnesia
Wilderness Now
Lucifer
A Pale Horse
This Night In The City Forever

Tracks bonus CD:

Every Man And Woman Is A Star
Embers
Until The Light Takes Us

Night Surgeon: Night Surgeon

Here Comes The Flood — Mon, 21 May 2012 13:11:00 GMT

Night Surgeon, a duo from Portland, OR composed of Patrick Replogle and John Boyd are into melodic synth pop with a twist. Their new self-titled EP, produced and mixed by Gabriel Espinosa (Blondie, Fischerspooner, Mobile), is built around early Eighties New Wave pop interacting with a pulsating back beat. Both Berklee graduates, they have found a middle ground between complexity and accessibility. Progressive pop that could cross over to the mainstream. Touches of Depeche Mode (Let Love In, Changes) and The Pet Shop Boys (Magnets).

Night Surgeon is released via Too Dark Records. Buy it from the band's website. Release date: June 26.

Tracks:

Let Love In
Magnets
Miles Away
You and Me
Changes
Talk To Me
