Ghost Parades [LP]

Guilherme Granado Goat Unity - Ghost Parades [LP]

Guilherme Granado makes his first solo appearance on the Keroxen label under the guise of his Goat Unity project, the result of a plethora of collaborations with musician friends and foes. A Sao Paulo native, Guilherme has been quietly building a reputation for being the go-to guy for loop-based beats and groovy basslines. He has played and recorded with Mauricio Takara in Hurtmold and he's also part of Sao Paulo Underground (also with Takara and Rob Mazurek). He also performs, produces, and records under the name Bodes & Elefantes and has toured extensively through South America, US and Europe with Sao Paulo Underground, Prefuse 73 et al. With Ghost Parades, Guilherme goes deep into his beat-based deviations whilst somehow managing to connect the dots between the Wu-Tang Clan and the Sun Ra Arkestra, adding a healthy dose of tropicalismo for good measure. Guilherme's Ghost Parades does an impeccable job at showcasing the multi-instrumentalist composition skills filled with dubby rhythms, addictive bass lines along with celestial and hazy chants. It's a smooth journey to take here, avoiding all the obvious pit holes of the genre and keeping the listener guessing where they're going at every turn. A spacious, open ended listening experience where loops effortlessly intertwine with live jam instrumentation. Organic, natural beats for atypical people. 01. Cinco e Dez 02.
