ghost machines by Ben Mirov

$14.95

"Reading GHOST MACHINES, I am reminded of Brian Eno and David Byrne's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, J Dilla's Donuts, or DJ Shadow's Endtroducing... In these sonic works, archives reanimate into loop driven compositions that stave off endings. Refrain riddles these poems, deepening echoes that re-orient and destabilize. 'A frozen lung tree'—a persistently repeated phrase, is an anatomical metaphor, an abstracted image of networks, part of a grotesque arbor—but in all cases, unable to provide air, for us every tree's most vital fruit."

—Douglas Kearney
