More press spiel for an excellent album...
"Hello All,
The latest release on Low Point, 'Ghost Notes' by Apalusa is now
available to buy. The vinyl for this one is strictly limited to a mere
150 copies, so don't hang around. Here are the details;
LP058 - Apalusa - Ghost Notes - LP/digital download
Ghost Notes is the long-awaited third album from Nottingham-based
musician Dan Layton, aka Apalusa.
Whereas Apalusa’s previous release, Obadiah, was a dense, murky affair,
filled with apocalyptic imagery and impenetrable layers of sub-sonic
dirt, Ghost Notes is an altogether different animal.
Recorded in Nottingham during the summer of 2013, Ghost Notes saw Layton
employing a ‘composition by subtraction’ approach. Starting with layers
of guitar drone, granular synthesis, field recordings and manipulated
vocals, Layton then stripped back all extraneous material before
painstakingly assembling what remained to create this tightly focussed
and microscopically detailed record. Every click, hiss and rumble is
meticulously placed to provide a backdrop to an album making Ghost Notes
the most accomplished record of Layton's career to date.
Sinister and unsettling, yet with moments of outstanding beauty, it is
an album of stark contrasts. The opening track, Revoke sounds like an
ancient distress call sent from the furthest reaches of space, whilst A
Million Billion Miles is arguably the single most beautiful piece in the
Apalusa catalogue.
Ghost Notes is very much an album in every sense of the word and one
that warrants listening to from start to finish. It is a perfect
document of Apalusa's constant musical evolution and the beautifully
coherent structure, narrative and flow of Ghost Notes makes listening to
this album a natural and compelling experience.
Limited edition vinyl LP, packaged in a full colour matt printed sleeve.
On sale for £11.50 plus shipping to your part of the world. To listen to
sound samples and to order a copy, please head to
