Back in 2016, producer Seth Applebaum released two EPs that marked the
inauguration of the band Ghost Funk Orchestra. ‘Night Walker’ and ‘Death
Waltz’ were conceived as one-man-band, reel-to-reel tape recorded
experiments that would bring together elements of all the sounds that Seth
most adored at the time: tape-saturated drums, gratuitous spring reverb,
surfy guitar, Latin-style percussion, odd time signatures, and
Spanish-language female vocals. Initially released only in the digital
domain and on a short run of cassette tapes, these two EPs that defined
the early era of GFO are now finally available together on a single LP via
Colemine Records. The tracks have been lovingly remastered by Doug
Krebs. We invite you to take a dive into the humble beginnings of a project
that has continued to grow, shape shift, and accrue new and exciting
sounds for its sonic palette.
