Stereogum shared early single "Unarm" HERE while Tiny Mix Tapes showcases the track HERE. Metal Injection featured album track "Resume" HERE.
This 65 minute LP weaves themes of love, heartbreak, and betrayal into monolithic synth-driven space-rock, with inspiration as diverse as Nine Inch Nails, Sigur Ros, Vangelis and Pink Floyd.
Writer and producer Christopher Bono utilizes his classical background to sculpt this expansive and engaging series of compositions, contrasting heavy walls of sound with ambient passages, contemporary classical and experimental electronic influences. Bono collaborated with Thomas Pridgen, whose drumming credits include the likes of The Mars Volta, Trash Talk, Suicidal Tendencies and Memorials. The album's enveloping sound also contains special contributions by ambient guitarist Anthony Molina, the multi-instrumentalist famous for playing with Mercury Rev, and otherworldly choral sections featuring vocalists Jamie Rae, Stacie Bono and Michele Kennedy.
Ghost Against Ghost recently issued a new single, Todeserfahrung which showcases a different side of the project, pairing Christopher Bono with the Czech FILMHarmonic (Arcade Fire, Ridley Scott, Celine Dion, et al.) The track takes the group's sound in evermore grandiose directions, including ethereal vocals, ambient keyboards and effects all driven by a detailed and dynamic electronic drum arrangement.
VICE's The Creator's Project also previously premiered the short film directed by Craig Murray (Mogwai, Converge) for the remix Ghost Against Ghost song "Checkpoint Charlie." Watch HERE.
