In Ghostlike Fading

Description

The stunning, kaleidoscopic debut album from My Best Fiend, one of Warps newest signings, delivering a breathtaking journey through drugs, religion and psychedelic rock.

While the five members of My Best Fiend live in Brooklyn, the music they create resides somewhere else entirely in a spacious, dreamlike world all its own. The nine tracks on In Ghostlike Fading feel like reveries, mixing gorgeously atmospheric keyboards with grittier guitars and plaintive lead
vocals.

On hallucinatory opening track, Higher Palms, My Best Fiend achieves a kind of modern, Phil Spector-like spirit, a somewhat woozier Wall Of Sound. Lead singer Fred Coldwells lyrics weave between decadence and penitence, compulsion and confession.

In Ghostlike Fading has a loose, impressionistic narrative flow an undercurrent, really that develops over the course of its nine tracks, culminating in the seven-minute-plus final track, On The Shores Of The Infinite, where one can finally, absolutely, glimpse some light at the end of the tunnel.

Integrated into the framework of In Ghostlike Fading, highly personal words become utterly universal sentiments. As Coldwell concludes, Its a kindred spirit vibe, a way of not feeling so alone, of keeping some of your ghosts alive.

Released on vinyl and CD with spectacular artwork. Vinyl limited to 100 copies in the UK.
