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.
