Modern Ruins by Ghost Bike
Coming at the heels of last year’s cosmic, dreampop-infused Nothing Charms, 4th Ghost Bike full-length is atypically austere, nearly a chamber effort. Constructed around samples from Shusterman’s trinket box of disembodied exotic and ritual music fleshed out with his own field recordings (ranging from street rantings to a real-life air raid siren), while almost entirely foregoing the trademark guitar murk in favor of classic synth and drum machine emulations, Modern Ruins sees the Jerusalem producer turn to sibylline, avant classical-tinged post-industrial techno as the suitably wordless medium for his death dance studies in urban decay and societal collapse.
