about

The debut full-length CD from Perth trio The Ghost of 29 Megacycles is a dense, reverb-soaked journey through shoegaze-inflected drone. Think Belong, Grouper, even My Bloody Valentine. The ultimate in immersive drift.

Press:
The Ghost of 29 Megacycles come from Australia where it's sunny and people have corks hanging from their hats and Alf Stewart lives there shaking his fist at children and people say "I can see the pub from here" sometimes. However, they seem happy to ignore most of these things in favour of sculpting sheer, blissful surfaces of drone from organs and guitars before topping them off with occasional shoegaze-style breathy female vocalising. And on 'Love Via Paper Planes' they do a very fine job of it, the sonic maelstrom occasionally reminding me of a more hopeful Nadja. Edition of 500 on Sound and Fury.
-Brett, Norman Records

So far I counted two and half releases by The Ghost Of 29 Megacycles, a three piece from a land downunder. Karen De San Miguel, Matthew Aitken and Gregory Taw. The latter started the band, but now is a real band. They are a guitar band primarily. A shoegazing guitar band, with a strong influence of Windy & Carl and Stars Of The Lid. Long sustaining sounds are produced the guitars - maybe with the addition of other instruments, but I can not be sure of that. Spacious music, played with the use of looping devices, lots of chorus and reverb - perhaps the latter is over-used here. The guitars no longer tinkle away, like they did on their previous two releases, but sustain on end, with every now and then some wordless singing added to it, the Windy & Carl influence I'd say. 'Dusted', a short piece towards the end uses organ like sounds and no guitars. The final track, the also short 'True Love Will Find You In The End' is the only one in which the singing has words and seems to be breaking away from the first four tracks. Ambient music for space heads (whether or not inhaling substances).
