This second round of Ghosted rides a sinuous pulse, a tricky pop of rhythm playing out over multi-toned drumheads, a subtle nod of bass, a flame-like fluctuation of tone and feedback. Oren Ambarchi who more typically works in the studio, layering texture on texture in post-production, here again sinks into a live, intuitive groove, reacting on the fly to long-time compatriots Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin.

While the activities of the always prolific Oren Ambarchi can be tough to keep up with, definitely don’t sleep on Ghosted, his hypnotic new collab with bassist Johan Berthling and drummer Andreas Werliin. It’s a groove record at heart, but one displaying an uncommon sense of adventure and imagination.
