Lovely.
What a rich sound. Free of those +1 min soundscapey intros where virtually nothing happens except a faint repetitive uni-dimensional sound and... my patience quickly running out. It doesn't strike me as ugly and haunting as described, but perhaps I'm just particularly at ease with melancholy.
Thank you.

"The last year of my life has been tumultuous on so many levels. I found myself broken and ruined, unsure if I could survive it - and worse - unsure if I wanted to during some dark points. The fabric of my life was ripped apart with little sign it could ever be repaired. I came to a point where I could rely only on the inalterable constants in my life to help me through this time, one of which is music. WELCOME TO GHOST COUNTRY is the sonic result of the journey in, out, through and beyond my experience.
Over the last year I’ve listened to the songs on this album more times than I can remember. I've composed, recorded, analyzed, distorted and worked over every second of every song for over a year, looking at waveforms on a glowing screen and listening to them in darkness. I've plagued friends and family with repeated listenings, begged advice on the album sequence from friends in the dead of night. I still don't understand where the music on WELCOME TO GHOST COUNTRY has come from and I hope it moves you as much as it haunts me; this tour of unreal kingdoms and forbidden realms, what I consider my most intensely personal album to date."
The new full length from CRT is a major step forward in the development of CRT's unique style of "eclectic electronic" music. A blend of ambient, noise, drone, hard electronica and more, Welcome To Ghost Country takes the listener on a long journey into some dark places filled with light and sound - and some very ugly spirits.
