As a fan of Matthew Dear’s music I’m eager to see and hear his upcoming record “Black City”. I say see because Ghostly International will be releasing an interesting concept version of the album that they’re calling a totem. As someone involved in running a record label this idea really intrigues me. What are the artifacts that we will associate with music that will have the most enduring impact and connection in an era when song files float around so freely? To me an LP is still the ultimate musical artifact but I give props. to Ghostly for throwing down something new and innovative.
