****************************
Bio:
New songs from the roster of America's greatest new electronic music
label.
Includes remixes by Prefuse 73, Telefon Tel Aviv and Twine.
Idol Tryouts represents the avant-pop of a new generation of Midwestern
producers, st raddling the edge of abst ract electronics, shimmering
indie
rock, Det roit techno and cutting-edge hip-hop. It is the point where
the
avant-garde and the popular meet, tearing away from the hierarchy of
genres
and the st rain of electronic puritanism in order to create new and
engaging
sounds.
The diverse artists featured on Ghostly International and its sister
label,
Spectral Sound, showcase Ghostly's brand of musical regionalism. Having
been
raised on and influenced by Detroit electronic music and its noir-ish
themes
of future, an indelible mark has been left on the city's suburbs. Ann
Arbor,
a stone's throw from this famed center of modernist production, is
Detroit's
freeform other-half.
The music on this collection showcases a dramatic spirit with an equal
focus
on both art and dancefloor interests , seeking contemplative and
humanistic
ideals. A new generation of artists are searching for the space between
heady academia and willful naivet in music and are finding results that
represent the spirit of the age, rather than its machines.
The music on this collection represents these conditions and the zeal of
its
creators in making music that is post-"IDM" and furthermore meaningful
in
various contexts. So exists the Ghostly International company and this
collection of artists whose work exemplifies not only the diversity of
their
personal interests, but the expanding ta stes of a new generation of
music
lovers who have become fans of electronic music, the music of this
generation.
