MIDNIGHT SUN

MIDNIGHT SUN

• Goastt- Midnight Sun

The Goastt is two people, Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl. It is, in itself, a chimera; a fabulous creature made with parts of two distinctly different creatures. It is also an acronym for The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger. 2014 sees the duo's release of Midnight Sun, a guided tour of bold, shape-shifting sonic murals and evocative lyrical panoramas. Plucking musical ingredients from all over the map, the album has a highly imaginative and distinct feel. It celebrates the unusual and the grandiose but fundamentally just rocks hard and feels good.<br><br>With an infectious sense of adventure akin to Beck and Flaming Lips, and several years of touring and recording under their belt, the Goastt takes their creative and savvy approach to psychedelia to new extremes. The ambitious songs flow cleverly together with unexpected ease to tell a vivid and provocative story. Familiar yet compelling, visceral and vital, Midnight Sun is at once a response to the bizarre world we've inherited and helped to create, and a refreshing escapist daydream that, if not hopeful, is keenly insightful. The Goastt has given us a record that is poised to be a postmodern-psychedelic classic.
