Ghost Memory by Oxhead

'Has there ever been a time when finding gaps in the seamless surfaces of "reality" has ever felt more pressing? Excessive presence leaves no traces.'
- Mark Fisher

//

The 'Ghost Memory' EP is a collection of fresh electronic experimentations by Edinburgh's Oxhead. Inspired by reading Mark Fisher's writings on cultural memory and hauntology alongside various historical narratives while travelling in Europe, it comprises 4 sonic sketches which explore ambient, noise and deconstructed techno. Layered field recordings and documentary samples meet shoegaze guitars, industrial drums and sheer destruction.

Praise for 'Ghost Memory':

'A brooding tribute to Mark Fisher, the Ghost Memory EP casts sultry sensory dialogue through the haunts of cultural melancholy. Tragically scenic, industrially sonic, it wilds through the metronome of normality, hyperbolising the human experience far beyond comprehension.'
- Beth Davison (The Skinny / Gold Flake Paint)

'Fantastically haunting from front to back.'
- Dominic Lees (Stylo / The Fear)

'Kind of nightmarish - but in a good way.'
- Ellen Beskow
