Ghost Funk Orchestra - A Song For Paul (KARMA CHIEF/Colemine)

WHAAT WE SAY:

Get your Friday freak on to the bumpin', funkin', rocking & shocking, soul soaked, acid spiked sounds of Ghost Funk Orchestra as they inject some fun & danceability into the modern psyche scene rather than just stare at their guitars for Colemine Records

WHAT YOUR EARS SAY:

WHAT THE PRESS RELEASE SAYS:

Ghost Funk Orchestra are a mystery. Plain and simple. Dirty, soulful production, verbed and fuzzed out guitars, mysterious vocals that feel like a lost score to a Quentin Tarantino film. The brainchild of one-man producer/musician/arranger Seth Applebaum, GFO is forging new territory and blurring the line between soul and psychedelic.
We are uber-proud to present their first full-length effort for our Karma Chief label imprint. This is just the tip of the iceberg for this group, already well into producing their follow up LP, this is a group we truly believe will become a prolific force in the modern psychedelic scene.
