Various - Ghost Riders 2LP

Happy release day to Efficient Space for their latest comp of private-press, overlooked, and long forgotten archival gems!

Ghost Riders feels like the moodier companion piece to Efficient Space’s classic Sky Girls comp from a few years back. Mining the archives and record stores of middle America, this collection strings together doe-eyed garage ballads, warbling vocals, haunting organ drones, and chiming guitar lines recorded between 1965 and 1974.

There’s something here to the name as well, with the kind of crate-digging (and herculean permissions/rights seeking) serving as a kind of exhuming of lost pop stars communicating with us through sheets of tape hiss and flutter in a spooky EVP-ish way.
