A battle of loud noises 1. júní 2006 13:31 Ghostigital In Cod We Trust Album Review: Ghostigital - In Cod We TrustGhostigital are Einar Örn Benediktsson, best known for his work with The Sugarcubes, and Curver Thoroddsen, a renowned noise artist in Iceland that has both produced a lot of records as well as made music himself. Numerous guests appear on their latest album, In Cod We Trust, such as Sensational, Ásgerður Júníusdóttir, Elís Pétursson, Gísli Galdur, Hrafn Ásgeirsson, Katiejane Garside, Mark E. Smith, Ragnheiður Ásta Pétursdóttir, Viðar Hákon Gíslason, Steve Beresford, Frosti Logason, Sigtryggur Baldursson, Mugison, Hrafnkell Flóki and Dälek, which gives the record great diversity. Ghostigital is a bizarre blend of heavy electronic beats, 80's new-wave and hip-hop and In Cod We Trust, which is Ghostigital's second album, can easily be described in one word - chaotic. This album is certainly not for everyone. It's loud, chaotic and at some points it doesn't even make sense. Einar Örn seems to randomly shout out whatever comes to his mind and the music itself is quite complex at times. Discordant synths, lots of noises, sporadic record scratches, distorted guitars and tons more all compete for attention of the listener. In Cod We Trust is their for a random splattering of genres over a stream of consciousness and at some times brilliant ramblings of Einar Örn. Noise hip hop is probably the best way to describe their music. This album is uneven but it's this complete illogical sound wall that makes this utter cahos actually make some sense. In Cod We Trust is a adventurous and unpredictable sonic stew which sounds like nothing you've heard before. It's certainly not easy listening but as the members of Ghostigital have said them selves- confusion is the message. Welcome to the sonic world of Ghostigital. - Ágúst Bogason, musician and radio host at Icelandic National Radio 2 Music and Nightlife News in English Mest lesið „Væri ekki að fara ef ekki væri fyrir góðvild fólks“ Innlent Munaði engu að ökumaður straujaði niður nítján hjólreiðamenn Innlent Grunar að Íranir hafi skipulagt morð á Trump fyrir atburði vikunnar Erlent Valið á Vance fyrirboði einangrunarhyggju í utanríkismálum Erlent Tveir fundust skotnir til bana í brunnum bíl í Malmö Erlent Telur ekki trúlegt að komið verði á samkomutakmörkunum Innlent Laðar fjárfesta að til að halda Skaganum á Skaganum Innlent Ekkert nema ást og aðdáun á landsþingi Repúblikana Erlent Þrjár líkamsárásir, vinnuslys og mannlaus bíll á ferð Innlent „Stanslaus barátta við það að vera ekki með menn í einangrun“ Innlent
