A Song For Paul, by Ghost Funk Orchestra

A Song For Paul

by Ghost Funk Orchestra

supported by

kim carsons Alive and kickin'. Fantastic album.

StrangeFlow Why do I love this album? Many reasons, but I think the first that got me was that "tarantino" Vibe I got from "Walk like a Motherfucker". This band kicks your jazzy asses. Sometimes it reminds me of Stereolab (funky groovy stuff) and Broadcast (kind of evil sinister vibes and the voices) mixed with tropicana and surf vibes and a lot of funk! Favorite track: Skin I'm In.

mdmikez I was HOOKED the first time I listened to this album. GROOOOOOOOVY Favorite track: Walk Like A Motherfucker.

about

Ghost Funk Orchestra are a mystery. Plain and simple. Dirty, soulful production, verbed and fuzzed out guitars, mysterious vocals that feel like a lost score to a Quentin Tarantino film. The brainchild of one-man producer/musician/arranger Seth Applebaum, GFO is forging new territory and blurring the line between soul and psychedelic.
We are uber-proud to present their first full-length effort for our Karma Chief label imprint. This is just the tip of the iceberg for this group, already well into producing their follow up LP, this is a group we truly believe will become a prolific force in the modern psychedelic scene.

The 4th track is so good, it makes my face feel like it's been peeled off my head and has been sent floating, flat as a pancake, towards the infinite edges of the universe. I am physically unable to stop listening to this. woe_bonnet
