Ghost Of The Heart - Vinyle Transparent

Description

Over the past decade, Daniel Davies has become a renowned composer of atmospheric, synth-rich instrumental music for film and television, collaborating with John Carpenter on the director's Lost Themes albums, as well as on solo albums like Signals and Spies. However, in his earlier musical life, Davies was a rocker, touring the world with bands like Year Long Disaster and Karma to Burn. After setting rock aside to focus on his soundtracks and instrumental work, the multi-instrumentalist has rediscovered his love for powerful guitars over the past two years. Ghost of the Heart, the first alt-rock album Davies has ever released under his own name, captures the excitement of this rekindled passion. After spending a decade making music that had to fit an existing image or create a mental one, he seems liberated by the concrete and reliable logic of verse/chorus/verse. The songs on Ghost of the Heart do not fit into any sub-genre: they are whimsical, intense, and a bit prog, but with a strong pop and melodic sensibility. The album reveals Davies' affinity for avant-garde bands like Radiohead and Blur, but above all, Ghost of the Heart feels natural, as if he is returning to something fundamental about himself as a musician. For fans of John Carpenter, CHVRCHES, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Oneohtrix Point Never, Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, Blur.
