Ghost Rock

"Guerrilla groove merchants, third-ear fakirs, lo-fi sci-fi square-root-of-pi-pipers - call 'em whatcha want, this Ghost Rock sh*t fu*king rocks!"
- Montreal Mirror

"… an exciting, kinetic sound…"
- Pitchfork

"…conjures up trailblazers Brian Eno and Miles Davis and is utterly astonishing. Still driven by horns and percussion Nomo is in formidable form on 'Ghost Rock', one of the most audacious and spirited albums this year."
- Detroit Free Press

'Ghost Rock' is the new album from the Michigan-based collective Nomo, following their '06 debut 'New Tones'. Produced by Warn Defever, 'Ghost Rock' continues to see Nomo forge its own vital sound. This is not the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti, nor the revivalist funk of a forgotten decade. This record owes as much to Can, Eno and MIA as it does Kuti, Francis Bebey and Funkadelic. On Ghost Rock, Nomo arrives in a new place.

There's no loss of steam as the band incorporate new influences, and their perpetual grooves are deeper than ever. The horns are set ablaze, analog synths beam an electrified energy in, the homemade percussion arsenal is ramped up, and Nomo are on fire, creating a tangled vine of synthetic and organic strands.
