the ghost particles' new album, their second, north central, features more new music from Phil Davis that continues to mine their original Americana electric folk-rock vein on songs like “All Gone Now,” “Save the Ashes” and “Drinkin’ Man’s Town,” but adding some stylistic departures. “Find My Way”is all driving rock, hooky and mysterious. “Oblivious” has a moody techno edge and features a duet with Phil Davis and Madison’s Beth Kille. “Last Call” is a trancey, hypnotic groove highlighting Don Irwin’s spooky keyboards, while “What Remains” is a minimalist nod to Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground. All told, it’s an ambitious and diverse second record, and the band looks forward to performing it live.

Squarewave: Hazy

Available on Vinyl, CD and HQ Download

Hazy was an immediate hit with me–I heard Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues and about half of the entire shoegazer genre rolled up into a very sloppy handmade cigarette that’s rolled by a pretty young girl and subsequently smoked in the parking lot in front of the laundromat. The LP pressing is quiet and clean. Hazy is the kick in the pants I need to dive back into vinyl." – The Part Time Audiophile

Leb

Leb, the disarmingly masterful first album of Caleb Wiesnicht, grabs hold with skilled chorales of layered harmony vocals, raw acoustic guitars, collages of cut up found audio, punchy percussion, unexpected song structures, and enigmatically poetic lyrics.

Leb - The video Album

Leb has created a stunning video accompaniment for his  album. Stories, fragments, images of his childhood growing up under the grim shadow of 9/11, a latchkey kid often left to his own devices in rural Wisconsin. Many of the songs are like dreams, Leb says, because he did a lot of dreaming to occupy his time.

I heartily recommend the album; especially if you are new to Alt-Country and Americana music…the production values throughout are outstanding with every instrument and voice sounding absolutely perfect. – No Depression

Trust me, they have a sound so distinctive, you will wonder where these guys have been hiding and how their music occurred so naturally especially in the way they recorded this album. – High Note Reviews
