ghost box ftfw

There's something addictive about Ghost Box. I haven't been let down by anything so far, and 'Other Channels' is excellent, quite unsettling in places.

By the way, has anybody actually got a physical copy of the first Belbury Poly EP?

[kaini]

np

fucking lush. reminds me maybe a little of barbara morgenstern in places...

but the advisory circle have their own sound. it's more developed on this, which i'm listening b2b with mind how you go


good and unique musics...

oh, i love this.

Don't get me wrong, I love em, but do you guys think they would exist without BOC?

[mcbpete]

yes i do.

EDIT: Hmm, a longer answer might be clearer. BoC is obviously influenced larger by Canadian PIFs (i.e. Personal Information Films) and the general vibe of 60's / 70's American nostalgia, wherease the bulk of Ghost Box stuff (Particularly The Advisory circle) is more towards English 70's and 80s PIFs and mainly the gritty safety ads. These guys would no doubt exist without BoC but it's not so clear if they'd exist without folks like the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

spot on

[azatoth]

this sounds very nice

I agree with you, but it just seems as though BOC initiated the the idea of using PIFs/70's and 80's ephemera as musique concrete first. I'm wondering if Advisory Circle picked up on the idea from them, or if they were up to this sort of thing early on. After all, Ghost Box is relatively new to the game.

Either way, this record is amazing!

the idea of hauntology goes back way farther than ghost box or BoC, it's just something they both happen to tap into. house and jupp credit people like arthur machen and hp lovecraft as BIG influences as well.

Yeah Hauntology... Is this like some established aesthetic or something? My iTunes claims that the genre of this album is "Hauntology". I know the Derridian business behind it all, but how to classify it in music?

Speaking of Hauntology, this album is waaaay scarier to listen to than Geogaddi. "Eyes Which are Swelling" is extreme.

issue 273 of the wire has an excellent article called 'haunted audio' which goes into good depth

numbers stations, abandoned tube stations, and the aforementioned PIFs are all well hauntology.

other hauntology artists i would recommend would be mordant music, and to a degree ariel pink. the wire also mentions a label called trunk records which sound intriguing but i have yet to hear
