about

From the moment you turn on the first track of the two Ghost Pirates EP’s, brought to us by the musical scallywags at Dope Recordings, you can hear the ancient ship creaking through the mist, the clammy hands of the doomed reaching out to grasp at your flesh. Eerie and haunting soundscapes, matched with the deepest of dubby techno bass lines, drag you to the murky depths of funk, inviting you to shake your pirates booty.

After the initial spookiness of All Hands On Deck, we are dropped into the minimal contemplation of Lost At Sea. Here we feel the pensive fear of our pirates as they wander the ocean hoping for some sign of salvation. Soft entrancing synths guide you through the journey to nothingness along with more of the enveloping bass lines that help define this release.

The final track on EP 1, The Ship Goes Down, rounds out the release nicely. A more driving and upbeat number, this is definitely one for all of the souls on the late night dance floor. The brooding darkness that makes the Ghost Pirates EP’s what they are, are as apparent here as they are on the other tracks, but it’s here that the sexiness of these songs really begin to show itself. With the last track on EP 1 we see a solid minimal groove accompany our pirates into the depths of the sea, never to be heard from again…

…Or will we?
