GHOST SHIP

"Chicago dronesters Zelienople recorded 'Ghost Ship' during the cities drought of 2005. As such it can perhaps be read as an invocation of rain. With their 'cable guitars' and organs phasing like an oily sea the 'Ghost Ship' weathers both the doldrums and the tempest to be visited by a high-end shower of cymbal play. On the second track 'Mary Celeste' they ride their melancholy ship toward a typhoon to the accompaniment of a beautiful sad lullaby that rises from the deep. Over these 2 long atmospheric tracks the band work with their trademark swells and lulls to evoke the depth of an impossible ocean."
