{"product_id":"pale-green-ghosts-two-lp-bonus-disc","title":"Pale Green Ghosts [Two-LP] [Bonus Disc]","description":"The title track from the ex Czars' frontman's second solo outing, the chilly, electro-kissed Pale Green Ghosts, sounds like a Brendan Perry (of Dead Can Dance)-fronted Kraftwerk taking on a James Bond theme. Like much of the album, it's icy, stylish, pompous, and self-obsessed, which is the direct antithesis, at least sonically, of his previous album, the maudlin, confessional Queen of Denmark, which was made with the help of wistful Texas folk-rockers Midlake. Pale Green Ghosts, on the other hand, was recorded in Reykjavik, Iceland with the help of GusGus' Birgir _órarinsson (Biggi Veira) and while Grant keeps the microscope firmly on himself throughout the 11-track set, he does so with more wit and panache than he did on the record's predecessor. Populated by slinky electro-pop cuts (\"Sensitive New Age Guy\" and \"Black Belt\"), saucy, Harry Nilsson-esque, chamber pop fight songs (the saucy \"GMF,\" one of two tracks to feature backing vocals from Sinéad O'Connor), and melodramatic \"Return to Oz\"-era, Scissor Sisters-inspired ballads (\"Vietnam,\" \"I Hate This Town,\" and \"Glacier\"), Pale Green Ghosts has a little something for everyone, and while all of the over-sharing can be a little overbearing, Grant's huge, expressive, and oddly comforting voice acts as a sedative, turning even the saddest, raunchiest, and most uncomfortable turn of phrase into a caress. ~ James Christopher Monger","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42303853461669,"sku":"602537261796","price":44.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/08d420e9a07ecf7b0c6e134ff669e52c.jpg?v=1777768636","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-de\/products\/pale-green-ghosts-two-lp-bonus-disc","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
