Fruit by Ghost Noises

Internationally renowned rap provocateur & motivational speaker Ghost Noises returns with a phenomenal cast of friends to give you sweet, succulent, and just the right amount of bitter for these trying times. Featuring longtime family RAF, Hokes, & Connor Musarra on production, this collaborative affair of bangers, heaters, and power ballads is sure to find their way into the hearts of even the most discerning musical audiences.

Poignancy & buoyancy collide inside the void over a deceptively spritely beat, sounding the fanfare of empowering jubilance that is "Glisten". Gleaming, glowing, glimmering bursts of light wash over us in the potential of a new day. Reflections on stark realities, condemnations of a willfully ignorant world, & thoughts of self-sabotage float overhead like remnants of the night sky dissipating into the warm rays of dawn, as these disparate elements metamorphize into a beautifully vivacious bop. Ghost Noises is no stranger to acknowledging the presence of life's bleakest hurdles, but this time comes with a firm foot forward towards our loveliest shine. "I Don't Give A Damn" swiftly follows, with a similar proclamation of self confidence aimed at naysayers, detractors, & loquacious haters everywhere. Synthesized from years of live performances, a Warp Records dollar bin, & the lost demo tapes of the unreleased rock opera turned feature film "Home of the $4000 Funeral", we're met with an anthemic display of confidence beamed in directly from the abyss. Laments of shallow music scene prospects deftly glide amidst extraterrestrial melodies courtesy of the twisted mind of Connor Musarra, alternating between "finding wisdom within alienation" and "talking shit from way up inside a UFO". Music for when you need to give a cold shoulder to hollow behavior, but you're still feeling cool as a cucumber. "Move (Deep Track)", the only song on Fruit recorded in 2020, applies the skeletal spunk & playfulness of UK Funky to the unique-but-familiar dread currently permeating our collective consciousness. Sentimental dub echoes, pre-apocalyptic funk, vocalizations on past times spent in movement, the positive, the negative - all intertwine and encourage us to keep going deeper & MOVE. A reminder that it only takes a few friends & their music to create momentum in a statically tragic world, accented beautifully by RAF's rhythmically percussive production. Two collaborations with the illustrious Hokes aka Bobby Junior come through to close out, with flashes of self love & conviction permeating emotional shrouds of melancholy. Unfiltered joy glimmers beneath an array of fog, smoke, & bass pressure on "Low End Theory" (co-produced by Steel Tipped Dove) chronicling the sparks of insight that one can gain from a hazy night out. Encouraging words of personal betterment greet us in the midst of a deeply enveloping beat, hitting like "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" blaring out a speaker in the gutter. But hey, we're having fun! Circling the toilet bowl of sublimation lands us at "Buckets", a relatable sonata of brazen yearning for a shred of truth & honesty from the people around us. 2 minutes of refusing to be ground down by exhaustion and isolation, with a middle finger aimed judiciously at toxic actions. Stripping yourself down psychologically & morphing it into music that knocks hard enough for everyone to feel the reverberations.

"Although these 5 songs weren't made with the explicit intent to be released together, the message of persistence, living presently, and refusing stasis courses through & connects them all in their own unique ways. All consist of interactions with brightness, concocted and delivered by Ghost Noises with that mischievous twinkle in their eye. It's up to you, dear listeners, if you want to take these as fruits of knowledge or just sweet & juicy treats to hold on to right now. Thank you and be well" - The Management

Ghost Noises is an existential meltdown with a fog machine and a laugh track.
