Ghost Funk Orchestra - A New Kind Of Love (Transparent Red Vinyl)

For Fans Of Temples, Allah-Las, Unknown Mortal
Orchestra, Khruangbin, David Axelrod. Each song on Ghost Funk Orchestra's 3rd album, A New Kind of Love, due to be released on
Colemine Records … 2022, resonates like the soundtrack to a scene from an imaginary movie. The music could score a romantic
drama, an action thriller, or a modern twist on a classic film noir. The spare, cascading vocals accentuate the lush instrumental
orchestrations composed, performed, arranged and produced by multi-instrumentalist Seth Applebaum, whose latest brainchild was
conceived and conceptualized during The Great Pause of 2020, a time of tension, bewilderment and isolation. Evoking the grooviness
of an era which preceded his arrival on earth, Applebaum draws upon sonic devices of mid-century exotica and the succinct but dense
arranging style of the leaders of the pop orchestras which dominated the hit parades of the 60s and early 70s. He blends impressions
of this bygone era with an expression of his actual experiences as a young filmmaker coming of age in the 21st century, citing
influences such as Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and Antibalas. A New Kind of Love encompasses a reverence for the past without
attempting to recreate it. In the tradition of the "production forward" discographies of such record makers as David Axelrod and the
Mizell Brothers, it's easy to visualize Applebaum as a "mad doctor" figure, hunkered down in a studio channeling this musical
representation of his inner world into the 12 compositions which make up A New Kind of Love. His writing stretches his psyche to
explore a terrain in which to capture emotional notes of love going well, love gone sour, manifesting love songs based in ghostly affairs.
While the studio is obviously a wondrous happy place of experimentation and creativity for Applebaum, he's a band guy too (having
actually fronted punk outfit The Mad Doctors). Applebaum has the wherewithal to bring his dreamy material to the 10 piece all star
Ghost Funk Orchestra, leading them to breathe life into this sophisticated body of work which heralds the celebration of a new era for
the group. Ghost Funk Orchestra will be touring in concert this summer and fall to celebrate the release of A New Kind of Love, an
album which is sure to stand the test of time. Also Available From Ghost Funk Orch: Night Walker/Death Waltz LP/CD, Opaque Red
