Glass Ghost: Hearing the Sound
Since the release of their debut album Idol Omen in 2009, Brooklyn based Glass Ghost’s founding members Eliot Krimsky and Michael Johnson have been keeping busy and also apparently have had quite a few odd gigs over the years since.
Krimsky recalls “The first gig we played together was at a strange wedding in a hotel. I remember playing the first dance as the couple stiffly moved across the shiny hotel floor. That was one of the many absurd moments that Mike and I have shared.” Krimsky’s keen observations of the absurd often inform his lyrics.
On their new album LYFE, Krimsky (who’s currently working on his M.A. in Media Studies at The New School, where he’s exploring the convergence of technological mediation, identity and music) turns his observations of the absurd and mundane into metaphors about living in a world where every detail about your life is harvested, quantified, and used by marketing companies to manipulate your behavior.
The new album LYFE officially releases today on Western Vinyl.
