Ghostigital at Faktory

Last night we played Icelandairwaves Festival at Faktory.
On stage with us were Frosti, Gísli Galdur and Kaktus. We played 11 songs. Songs from our new album. This is a short clip from the concert.

Here is a live review of the gig for www.grapevine.is

The best electronic group I’ve ever seen. They threw everything but the kitchen sink into this performance and everything worked wonders. I’ve never said this: they sound like no one else. That’s right, 100% original. Not even Throbbing Gristle can touch these big swinging dicks. The spastic, cutting gestureshouts of Einar Örn Benediktsson skullfucked and lobotomised the IV dripping, docile crowd. If Ian Curtis were alive today, he would have taken notes on this crazy fuck. When I last took notice of Ghostigital, I was 19 and living in New Jersey. I missed their disrespectfully under-attended concert in Hoboken, and hugely regretted it. After their performance, I can remember why. These guys do something that no other group can: make the raucous shit smear of quickly cobbled together techno-garbage genre sound like the best music ever played. With a guitar player, it is utter perfection. This electrivolitile psychojazz, this testament to fuzzy warble spinning could have driven Malcolm McDowell insane all over again. Einar told me after the show that he thought Ghositigital were the best. He was right, they are. If you don’t like them, you genuinely are an imbecile. You can’t understand them. Hail Ghostigital, the best band for ever-ever.”

We are playing Icelandairwaves on the 15th of October at Faktory, Reykjavík at 9pm

 

Reykjavík -> New Jersey Calling

Mixing has begun of our new record. We got 11 or 12 tracks ready. We are not alone in the mixing process. Alap Momin is actually mixing the record. He is mixing in New Jersey in the studio and we are in Reykjavik receiving the mixes.
We are thrilled to get Alap Momin a.k.a. Oktopus of Dälek into the Ghostigity crew!

And they sound good. Drove around in the car today and blasted. Wicked stuff. Enlightenment, pure.
Record will be finished in September, and then we figure out when we will put it out.

Icelandairwaves are in October, who knows, we might play the festival in Reykjavik. Please.
