The Ghost Frequency

Nightmare

As the ’80s continue to be recycled, so it must inevitably come to pass that horrible late ’80s electro-industrial awfulness like DAF and Nitzer Ebb will start echoing in new bands too young to know the horror of what they are reanimating. Certainly the first 40 seconds of ‘Nightmare’ is just that, a horrible fingernails-on-blackboard racket of pained vocals and brain-ache bass. Thankfully, The Ghost Frequency then remember it’s always nice to have a song in there somewhere, and it all morphs into an lovely, funky, electro-Franz Ferdinand oddity. They’re touring with Hadouken! – pray they don’t start getting ideas.

The temptation to dismiss this band as another bunch of Shoreditch twats who’ve just fallen off the new rave bandwagon having ingested one too many a glow-stick is all too easy. But, it’s worth taking the 3minutes and 33seconds to get off the high horse and sacrifice your ears as victims to this gang of indie electro vampires. Sucking both blood and inhibition by the mouthful, this riotous genre mixing quintet have mastered the sound of frenzied horror to a perfection. “Nightmare” is an uncontrollable sinister dance pop onslaught. Prepare to be surprised.
