Ghost Coast Choir is the Scandinavian duo comprised of Gustav Rasmussen and Thorben Seierø. The project explores a new musical expression by blending the sound of the classical choir with contemporary lyrics and ambient electronics. The self-titled debut album will be officially released tomorrow.
According to the press release, The album documents the pain of loss in a highly original way by mixing ethereal vocals with samples, guitar pedals and old tape machines. It comprises harmonic voices from a collaboration with the choir Ensemble Edge, whose vocals are contrasted by electronic manipulations and post-production samples – all used to create ambient and majestic soundscapes that bring Nils Frahm or William Basinski to mind.
