Im Hag by  ToiToiToi  is in our shop now on LP, CD or download.  Listen here.

As always the beautiful CD and LP packaging is designed by Julian House. (The 180gm LP includes a free download card.)

Im Hag is the debut Ghost Box album for Berlin based Sebastian Counts’ ToiToiToi, following on from his single for our Other Voices series in 2015. It’s very detailed and lovingly produced music, crafted from electronic, synth, sampled and acoustic sources. Its a wunderkammer of an album crammed with original ideas. All at once managing to be witty, spooky, melodic and abstract.

The music and design explores the polarities of folklore vs modernity, and wilderness vs civilization. It’s an album about German culture but it pre-empts a nostalgia for the vanishing concept of internationalism, once exemplified by town twinning. It’s also a warm-hearted record, hopefully a tiny  morale booster against Europe’s resurgent spectres.

In the Ghost Box guest shop we have  Keith Seatman's 5th CD album all hold hands & off we go, an unsettling assemblage of unsettling pastoral electronica. There's also Howlaround's A Creak in Time LP, a cosmic radiophonic soundtrack to a film of the same name.

The next release on Ghost Box in will be a new LP from The Focus Group, Stop-Motion Happening. (14th July)

Thank you very much for listening.
