Bayou Music (Cassette)

Holy Ghost Party is the Baltimore-based duo of Zachary Utz and Dave Jacober. Bayou Music, their first release on Ehse Records, showcases the duos ability to improvise suspiciously-structured compositions. Influenced equally by early 20th-century Delta Blues, 1970s kraut electronica, and Indian Ragas, Bayou Music is blue collar psychedelia, a naïve but skilled mutation of single notes into swampy disarray. While the music consists only of guitar, drums, and vocals, Bayou Music subverts the derivative cliches of quot;rock and rollquot; by annihilating the analogue sounds with heavily distorted effects. The result is a mindless meltdown of classic anti-riffing and instrumental indifference that drifts aimlessly downstream.
