THR 012.51EP
|
"Dan Friel's first release for Thrill Jockey, contains two brand new songs, as well as the first ever remixes of his music. 'Valedictorian' opens the EP with a burst of adrenaline, pure pop filtered through a layer of noise. 'Exoskeleton' is more mysterious, with bursts of Friel's over-driven synths coming in and out of focus over a steady 4/4 beat. The first remix is a clean, Italo disco take on 'Exoskeleton' courtesy of Moss of Aura, the solo project of Gerrit Welmers, one third of Future Islands. The final track is a sprawling, murky remix of 'Ulysses,' by California dub-kraut duo Peaking Lights."

LP version. "Ghost Town is the first full-length solo release from Parts & Labor singer/electrician Dan Friel. Characterized by its anthemic melodies, complex electronic arrangements and huge distorted beats, Ghost Town is an indie record the noise kids will love and a noise record that'll inspire the indie kids to pick up some busted electronic gear and strive for immortality. Ghost Town is where everyone can meet in the middle and freak out about how insanely good this record is. Think Wolf Eyes playing In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and you might be on the right track."

Characterized by its anthemic melodies, complex electronic arrangements and huge distorted beats, Ghost Town is an indie record the noise kids will love and a noise record that'll inspire the indie kids to pick up some busted electronic gear and strive for immortality. Ghost Town is where everyone can meet in the middle and freak out about how insanely good this record is. Think Wolf Eyes playing In The Aeroplane Over The Sea and you might be on the right track. Dan Friel has been using toy keyboards, guitar effects pedals, walkie talkies and R/C car remotes to make a series of instrumental electronics EPs since 2001. Ostensibly a western, Ghost Town alternates between dense, distorted, beat-driven epiphanies, and haunting solos from a variety of makeshift instruments. Ghost Town also features the eye-popping artwork from renowned print/illustration artist Shawn Reed (Racoo-oo-oon, Night People Records)."
