Carl Craig photo by Jeanine Anderson from the Strangr Flickr pool Seattle local and new Ghostly signee The Sight Below got off to a late start at the Baltic Room's Ghostly International showcase last night, which already had a line out the door at 9:30. Once he got started, though, it was sweetslow motion, television tube distorted video clips looping above his head while he drew washes off smeared...
We're just going to throw it out there that Magic Monday (out today on Ghostly International ) is the sonic coming of age story of Michna . Of course, we're saying that because we know from our own magazine that he used to play horns in a ska band, and when "Swiss Glide" comes on and the beat is built around skateboard wheels and—surprise—horns, it's like we're reliving the time we played Reel Big...
Michna / Magic Monday / Ghostly International The little snipped of Michna you heard on the Ghostly Swim compilation was only a peek at the type of melodic instrumental song that fills Michna’s first solo full length. He doesn’t disappoint, any track on here is playable and likable. The promo company calls it a [...]
School's started, and things are insane. Unfortunately, I still have shows to catch up on from August, but I'd like to bring back some spontaneity here. I'm working on a piece on Matthew Dear (to come out next Wednesday), and while browsing his really excellent label, Ghostly International , I came across some staggeringly good electronica from Tycho, aka Scott Hansen. In an illuminating video on Current...

Violets is a requiem for the new dark age. A memoir of a dying era, defined by the years of an inevitably dichotomized and isolated nation. On their long-awaited fourth full length, the duo of Greg Malcolm and Chad Mossholder move from the muggy backwoods of their early work towards the sonic approximation of icy [...]
As Thursday lurches towards an end, naturally thoughts turn to starting the weekend early. Rather than another tired trip to the pub, we can't think of a better way to do so than with minimal techno at the ICA. Ghostly International's Matthew Dear performs there tonight with his full band, Matthew Dear's Big Hands. Though we cannot personally attest to the size of Dear's hands, we do know that they...
Osborne - There When it comes to my 4-4 beats, I've been on a house music kick lately, and just in time for that specific aural desire comes Osborne, aka Todd Osborn, with his new self-titled full length album, via our friends at Spectral Sound, the more techno-oriented arm of Ghostly International. See, I bought the Ruling EP about a month back and played the title track out when I was at Love - the...

Animation powerhouse Adult Swim has teamed up with indie labels before, like funk and soul standout Stone's Throw or indie hip-hop collective Definitive Jux. But this time, it is forming Voltron-style with Michigan's Ghostly International to offer Ghostly Swim, a...
For years, Ghostly International, the indie juggernaut of Avant-Pop music, has been redefining the record industry with innovative collaborations and a brand awareness that puts most labels to shame.
