Ghost Culture "Ghost Culture" (Phantasy)


Through soothing vocals comes music that could be synthgaze or even synthpop but has these funky beats behind it.    It reminds me a little bit of New Order or a less dark version of Stabbing Westward but there really is no comparison point for Ghost Culture.     The easiest thing to say would be that it would be like Artist A plus Artist B if you took someone with synth and combined them with someone with beats but that wouldn't even do it justice.

Triumphant and with hints of Lou Reed this is something that I put on at random really and it is now slowly becoming one of my favorite albums not just of 2015 but of all time.   It's just... I can't explain it, but it has this certain sound.   If you look at the words used to describe it (not just by me, but by anyone) you might think "Oh, great another one of those" or you might have some ideas in your head of what it will sound like.

Ghost Culture goes above and beyond those ideas in your head in every possible way and this is just amazing.   Remember this one in December for your end of the year lists, people.
