Description

Twotime Mercury Prize nominee Ghostpoet aka Obaro Ejimiwe follows up 2017rsquos acclaimed Dark Days Canapeacutesrsquo with a record which couldnrsquot feel more prescient a dystopian snapshot of the universal unease and anxiety we feel as we enter into this new decade in lockdown mode, an uncertain future distilled across these 10 vital tracks.The first single lsquoConcrete Ponyrsquo is the perfect entry point to the record bluesy, gritty and foreboding and accompanied by an incredible video, with its distinctly Lynchian feel, surreal and beautifully cinematic.Written, arranged and produced by Ghostpoet, the album incorporates a myriad of sounds and styles anchored by the altrock sonics of his last two records and a nod to the likes of Massive Attack who he provided guest vocals for a couple of years ago. It also features guest vocals from an eclectic mix of artists Art School Girlfriend, Skinny Girl Dietrsquos Delilah Holiday, SaraSara and Katie Dove Dixon.The artwork is a stunning recreation of the famous gothic painting lsquoThe Nightmarersquo by Fuseli with Obaro as the stricken woman. Ghostpoet CD is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £10
