Ghost In The Water’s Cardinal Red EP Released
Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the Cardinal Red EP by American electronic pop duo Ghost In The Water, featuring the second single to be taken from their debut album Tooth.
The EP’s title track is probably one of Tooth’s most wistfully beautiful cuts, a lilting pop gem in which Nathan and Mandy sing of the end of a relationship over burbling beats, acoustic guitar and shimmering keyboard lines. New mixes of ‘Pushpins and Tape’ and ‘Magic Wand’ by Little Ghost (Nathan from the band) steer the album versions in delicious new directions – the former bathing the original in Ibiza sunshine, while the latter is re-cast as a vampiric funk strut. Then comes the thunderous Double Dragon remix of ‘The Campfire’, which rides breakneck through a flaming neon city, the wind in its hair. The EP draws to a conclusion with 4TrakZ’s blissful electro dissection of ‘Cardinal Red’, which counterbalances the melancholy of the vocals with funky, lurching bass and a pumping beat. And let’s not forget the synth-guitar solo… Warped genius.
“From the hushed-but-busy guitar lines to the angelic keyboard parts, Ghost In The Water sweeps around in the wind, spreading goodness like magic pixie dust… thoroughly beautiful” – Artrocker
The Cardinal Red EP is now available in digital and CD format from the HSR Store. The ‘Cardinal Red’ single will be available for free download until mid-January 2009. Tooth is also available in CD and digital format through Hidden Shoal Recordings. Check the HSR Store for all availability and distribution information.
