TRANSMISSIONS FROM THE ÆTH3R:

Guilty Ghosts have been intermittently making music for rainy days, everlasting evenings, and melancholy moments in solitude, since 2010. At times, their music can sound meditative, plaintive or in a kind of awe. At other moments, it trembles, simmering with a controlled yet mounting intensity. It's a result that is unconventional yet familiar, as if Mogwai were remixed by Massive Attack, or a "slow and reverb" take on Explosions in the Sky.

Arpeggiated riffs are treated with delay, reverb, and distortion, serving a role that vocals might in a standard pop song. Drum loops ground the listener in the rhythmic and emotional possibilities of each musical idea. Riffs are looped like mantras, building until they break, or fading away into ether. Not quite songs, not quite interludes, something in between.

They just call it, ambient alternative.

2025's Metalogues is technically the seventh release from Guilty Ghosts. But in their mind, it's their second 1st release. The EP reintroduces the sound they've been attempting since they started but with a new feel and attitude. It is their attempt to pay homage to the alchemy of emotional expression, sonic experimentation, and audience connection that their musical heroes accomplished – from The Cure to The Durutti Column... The Fragile to “I Will Follow”... Brian Eno to Chino Moreno. Taking its name and conceit from anthropologist Gregory Bateson’s Steps to an Ecology of Mind, Metalogues is the first in a triptych of thematically-linked works that attempt to bear witness to complex emotions, memories, and subjects.

It is an invitation for listeners to do the same.
