Ghost Atlas, the melodic alt-rock side project from Jesse Cash of ERRA, has released the double A-Side: “Seeker (Stretch The Night)” and “In The House Of Leaves.”
“‘Seeker (Stretch the Night)’ is arranged in a way that is less conventional structurally, and more of foundation to tell a story,” Cash shares. “It started with the opening chord progression having been originally written on guitar in DADGAD open tuning. I was playing around with the idea of transferring the chords to piano and liked the idea of having the song just be those chords for the entire duration. I felt that the chord progression was interesting enough and having it continue altering slightly for several bars left a lot of room for vocal variation to prevent the flow from becoming stagnant.”
He continues:
“I liked that my only means of keeping a sense of dynamic throughout was to rely upon the production layering and fluctuating intensity in the vocals. The song is constantly weaving in and out of tension and release until the end when it finally opens up into a full band performance.”
Ghost Atlas is an intensely personal project. Every conceptual part of the music, lyrics, and visuals is an intentional outpouring of Jesse’s mind. The twelve tracks across Dust Of The Human Shape illustrate the internal world of Jesse’s fervor and ideology, while allowing the listener to find their own connective interpretation. The album is a culmination of art and tense human emotions, fueled by a spectrum of life experiences.
It arrives January 26 via UNFD and is now available for pre-order.
