Ghost stories for the hard of hearing

by Fossil Hunting Collective

supported by

Ambientologist Ghost Stories couldn't be better named. Short stories that touch the chill of the soul, with the safety of distance and a softness of touch.

One of its greatest strengths is the way it interlaces, so delicately, a diversity of emotion. Hints of melancholy are calmly inviting; touches of dissonance come and go before one even notices they were there. Even the harsher bass guitar tones are framed expertly amongst washes of sedating reverb.

Ghost Stories is designed for uninterrupted listening. Favorite track: The inner circuitry of a sparrow.

Another special thanks to ALL the boutique pedal builders out there that have truly mapped the opportunity for many of us "sound-crafters" to be able to create some unique tones and musical wizardry from their designs.

'Legend has it (and science has confirmed) that the Aurora Borealis can be accompanied by eerie noises. Even though they’re just hisses and pops caused by an interaction between solar particles and the earth’s magnetic field, I’d also believe it if someone told me that they had once looked up at the Northern Lights and heard “The inner circuitry of a sparrow,” off Fossil Hunting Collective’s new EP, Ghost stories for the hard of hearing. The song is a nearly eight minute journey through nocturnal melodic swells and crackling textures, punctuated by prismatic rays of guitar and a recurrent, utterly haunting drone that pierces through the surrounding beauty like a ghostly siren. During the latter half of the track, Jones introduces a faint synth beat that sounds like the breath of a massive, yet benign, creature lying under a nighttime sky. Everything about the song seems huge. “The inner circuitry of a sparrow” possesses a desolate grandeur that is both peaceful and forlorn, like the Arctic tundra itself (or so I imagine, since I’ve never been there). Recommended for fans of Brian Eno’s Music For… stuff, Grouper’s windswept textures, Stars of the Lid’s drones, and Hammock’s ambient post-rock.'

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303
