*GHOSTLY RELEASES*

New releases available at http://www.buyghostly.com

LUSINE: Serial Hodgepodge CD and 2xLP (GI-37)
OUT NOW
2xLP released 25 January, featuring the exclusive track "Crossing".

"It's an impeccably produced work, with nary a cliche or weak track, which
is rarer than an album that hasn't been downloaded before its release date."
-Dave Segal, The Seattle Stranger

"Dubbed out blasts of errant machinery and cooling beds of synth bits
combine to form a cohesive and brilliant fusion."
-XLR8R

"If, like me, one of your favourite records is Aphex Twin's 'Xtal', then
you're going to need to buy this album...none [of Lusine's works] have been
as fully realized or as undeniably funky as this."
-FACT (UK)

Listen: http://www.ghostly.com/audio/clips/Lusine-TheStop.mp3


BROKER/DEALER: Opening Night 12" (SPC-26)
OUT NOW
The Spectral debut of San Francisco's Ryan and Ryan; a lush homage to 80s
dance floor sheen.

Listen: http://www.ghostly.com/audio/clips/BrokerDealer-OpeningNight.mp3


THE VANISHER: The Tic-Tac Tactic 12" (SPC-22)
OUT NOW
Spectral debut of Sweden's Hakan Lidbo; the title track follows a deep acid
groove and the B side features a remix by Osborne.

"Good tunes that melodically play with tech's over-stuffed glitchy exterior
and the smooth sounds of old."
-Igloo

Listen: http://www.ghostly.com/audio/clips/TheVanisher-TheTicTacTactic.mp3


*COMING SOON*

HIEROGLYPHIC BEING: Liquid Sex EP (SPC-27)
OUT FROM 22 FEBRUARY
2nd Spectral EP from Dirty Criminals' Jamal Moss -- a deep exploration of
the Chicago House sound.

Listen: http://www.ghostly.com/audio/clips/HieroglyphicBeing-LiquidSex.mp3


KILL MEMORY CRASH: Crash V8 12" (GI-40)
OUT FROM MARCH
2nd single from the upcoming AMERICAN AUTOMATIC full-length; a paranoid,
politicized and pornographic polemic against the darkness and sleaze of
modern life.  Features an exclusive remix by Richard Devine (Warp,
Schematic).

Listen: http://www.ghostly.com/audio/clips/KMC-CrashV8-12mix.mp3


MOBIUS BAND: City vs. Country CD (GI-41)
OUT FROM 22 MARCH
Pop-sensible vocals, expansive guitars and unexpected textures define Mobius
Band's international debut, following 3 stunning self-released EPs.

"Mobius Band has a penchant for sonic squiggles and krautrock beats, but
it's clear that gigging with the likes of Broadcast and Broken Social Scene
has polished its gift for crafting gentle electropop songs."
-Time Out New York
