Businessmen & Ghosts
Melodic
INDIE
2CD reissue of this remarkable debut album, now with a wealth of unreleased & recent tracks. Beats, psychedelia, Krautrock & indie blends into one prolonged sonic assault. Based in Manchester, this band has made some impact in the UK but over in the States news of the band has been spreading like fallout from an H-bomb. They were nominated for 2007s Shortlist Prize (America’s Mercury Music Prize equivalent) alongside M.I.A., FEIST, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, WILCO & ARCADE FIRE. Comparisons: STONE ROSES, PRIMAL SCREAM, DOVES, SPIRITUALIZED & CAN.
WORD “Businessman And Ghosts’ is a huge, interwoven musical landscape, tracks and genres bleeding into each other. “Home” is EDWYN COLLINS singing THE SMITHS and “The Tape” is a dub “I Wanna Be Adored”, “Donkey” is the sound of JOY DIVISION playing drum & bass. A sprawling, vastly inventive mix of 30 years of Manc music.”
VAINZINE 5/5 “Atmospheric indie that evokes a feeling because it’s simply raw powerful music.”
UNCUT “4/5… keeps you enthralled for two hours – no mean feat.”
NME “8/10….these 29 tracks juxtapose pounding techno beats with acoustic guitars and oaring, melodic indie with time-signature bending Krautrock.”
