A battle of loud noises 1. júní 2006 13:31 Ghostigital In Cod We Trust Album Review: Ghostigital - In Cod We TrustGhostigital are Einar Örn Benediktsson, best known for his work with The Sugarcubes, and Curver Thoroddsen, a renowned noise artist in Iceland that has both produced a lot of records as well as made music himself. Numerous guests appear on their latest album, In Cod We Trust, such as Sensational, Ásgerður Júníusdóttir, Elís Pétursson, Gísli Galdur, Hrafn Ásgeirsson, Katiejane Garside, Mark E. Smith, Ragnheiður Ásta Pétursdóttir, Viðar Hákon Gíslason, Steve Beresford, Frosti Logason, Sigtryggur Baldursson, Mugison, Hrafnkell Flóki and Dälek, which gives the record great diversity. Ghostigital is a bizarre blend of heavy electronic beats, 80's new-wave and hip-hop and In Cod We Trust, which is Ghostigital's second album, can easily be described in one word - chaotic. This album is certainly not for everyone. It's loud, chaotic and at some points it doesn't even make sense. Einar Örn seems to randomly shout out whatever comes to his mind and the music itself is quite complex at times. Discordant synths, lots of noises, sporadic record scratches, distorted guitars and tons more all compete for attention of the listener. In Cod We Trust is their for a random splattering of genres over a stream of consciousness and at some times brilliant ramblings of Einar Örn. Noise hip hop is probably the best way to describe their music. This album is uneven but it's this complete illogical sound wall that makes this utter cahos actually make some sense. In Cod We Trust is a adventurous and unpredictable sonic stew which sounds like nothing you've heard before. It's certainly not easy listening but as the members of Ghostigital have said them selves- confusion is the message. Welcome to the sonic world of Ghostigital. - Ágúst Bogason, musician and radio host at Icelandic National Radio 2 Music and Nightlife News in English Mest lesið Skildirnir hafi hótað konum sem setji út á þá Innlent Starfsfólk kannist ekki við uppsteyt á kvennadeild Landspítalans Innlent Þetta er fólkið á bak við Skjöld Íslands Innlent Ættingjar að verða fyrir hryllilegum ódæðum Innlent Móðir og níu mánaða barn hætt komnar í Þrengslunum Innlent Ozzy Osbourne allur Erlent Bergþórshvoll brenndur á fjögurra daga Njáluhátíð Innlent „Hvetjum fólk til þess að treysta okkur bara fyrir því“ Innlent Reyndu að koma í veg fyrir að hún settist upp í hjá afrískum bílstjóra Innlent Alvarlega slösuð bankakona lagði VÍS eftir langa og stranga baráttu Innlent
