It feels like an eternity since Jimmyjoe Snark III, at that time
still using the moniker of THE WEATHERMEN, exploded onto the EBM
scene with the track "Poison". Singer Frank Spinath, on the
other hand, is known for his relatively recent projects SEABOUND
and EDGE OF DAWN, both huge hits among electro fans. Together
they constitute GHOST & WRITER, but do not really give away who
is the ghost and who is the writer. From the promo video clips,
it's clear that the duo share a weakness for black-and-white
films, whose aesthetic matches up perfectly with the stories of
GHOST & WRITER. In their own words: "Our songs are like short
films. Like the characters in a film noir, the protagonists in
our songs are often fighting a losing battle because they
romanticize too deeply that which they cannot have, and so they
collapse. Or they are fleeing from that which they actually
desire. Musically the album is characterized by a certain
effortlessness, like old movie theaters or carousels. It
resonates with both a playfulness as well as with a deep
romantic desire."
Snark and Spinath give conventional songwriting the cold
shoulder and turn instead to brazenly modern structures as well
as beloved yet nearly forgotten retro-elements, or as they put
it: "Mean little stories blown up to cinematic proportions.
Stranded and battered electronic memorials of better days. And
yet, so fresh it almost hurts." This highly professional
recording was mastered by none other than FRONT 242's Daniel B.,
bringing out the fresh, new, and unconventional accents of an
album sure to stand out in 2011.
