A name which is at times eponymous with the general feel of the band’s sound – spectre-like tones filtered through a wash of static with vaporous guitar whirrs, pounding drums and disenchanted vocals all burned into an emotional screen of remorse and repression – Sydney’s Ghosts Of Television deliver a kind of shoegaze punk that recalls the greats from eras past, yet still retain their own degree of freshness. Perhaps best capturing this style is the title track, with its whines and murmurs stuttering across a rigid landscape of snares and cymbals before reaching a crescendo of tuneful clatter to complete the journey.
However, fellow track Buzzrd takes a different route to its aforementioned counterpart, instead preferring to ascend hazardous peaks before free falling into hollow chasms of drone to achieve a very loud-quiet-loud formula which holds true throughout the whole song. Indeed, these two contrasts in melodic direction demonstrate the cacophonous clash of musical style which this band is making its name for providing. Witness this auditory battle firsthand at Wolfgang on Thursday 19 June, and prepare thyself for a rough journey through the depths of eerie audio gloom.
