Ghosted II, the new album from Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling, and Andreas Werliin, was released last month. In his review, Thomas Blake described it as an enriching, multi-layered, and almost indecently accomplished album.
They have just shared their new music video for the second track, “Två”, directed by Cédrick Eymenier, the trio’s longtime collaborator and soul-bound confidant.
Två is more free-flowing: a gentle, melodic riff, that wouldn’t be out of place on one of those Japanese mallwave albums, slithers through the track’s thirteen minutes, augmented by ruminative, hazy drones and glimmers – the whole thing seems perched on the border between synthetic and organic sound, which is some achievement given the minimal raw materials the band are working with. Deep percussive booms encroach on the serene heart of the piece, making the whole thing seem uneasy and slightly surreal.
