Woodstock, NY band Ghost Against Ghost stream their entire new Unarm EP today, which is available to hear and share via Soundcloud HERE and Bandcamp HERE.

Ghost Against Ghost is fronted by composer and producer Christopher Bono, with musical contributions by guitarist Anthony Molina (Mercury Rev) and drummer Thomas Pridgen (Mars Volta, Trash Talk) and various other musicians. 
Unarm is the second thunderous opus in the band’s dark-romantic conceptual series of releases. It focuses on the transformation of dark/negative energy into a positive/life-giving energy by referencing and reflecting on the Tibetan Buddhist practice of Tonglen, in which the practitioner envisions taking on a thick black cloud of smoke consisting of the pain and suffering of a concentrated other, and exhaling a stream of golden light that saturates the body and mind of the recipient with peace, wisdom and resolution.
The first track entitled, “Your Secret Ocean” is a dense web of swelling modular synths and otherworldly electronic noises over waves of electric bass that places the listener in a strange, unresolved landscape, navigating an inexplicable swim through a conflicted and confused human consciousness.
 
The ambient shoegaze world of the title track “Unarm” showcases Bono’s complex and varied dream-like production. Bono’s operatic post-rock songwriting utilizes dense walls of guitars, ambient synths, and washed out vocals along with the diverse talents of two drummers. Jason Molina (Dead Heart Bloom, Longwave) provides the downtempo rock groove for the first half and Thomas Pridgen enters 6 minutes into the 8.5 minute track to lay down driving, colossal beats that carry through to the heavy climactic ending.
 
Pre-orders are available HERE.
