Ghost Power came to life in 2022 as a new collaboration between two simpatico artists: Stereolab/Cavern of Anti-Matter’s Tim Gane and Dymaxion’s Jeremy Novak. Their self-titled debut follows a touch in the vein of Cavern of Anti-Matter given that the songs are instrumentals with plenty of electronics, but the aesthetic, often thanks to the guitars, is usually more 60s nightclub frugs and spy soundtracks in turn. Whether it’s the ominous bassline on “Panic in the Isles of Splendor” or the exploratory trippiness of “Astral Melancholy Suite,” it’s all a good treat.
