Ghost Atlas, the side project of ERRA guitarist/vocalist Jesse Cash, have unveiled a new track titled “Seeker (Stretch The Night)“. The project’s new album “Dust Of The Human Shape” will be out January 26th on UNFD.
Cash commented:
“‘Seeker (Stretch The Night)‘ is arranged in a way that is less conventional structurally, and more of foundation to tell a story. It started with the opening chord progression having been originally written on guitar in DADGAD open tuning.
I was playing around with the idea of transferring the chords to piano and liked the idea of having the song just be those chords for the entire duration. I felt that the chord progression was interesting enough and having it continue altering slightly for several bars left a lot of room for vocal variation to prevent the flow from becoming stagnant.
I liked that my only means of keeping a sense of dynamic throughout was to rely upon the production layering and fluctuating intensity in the vocals. The song is constantly weaving in and out of tension and release until the end when it finally opens up into a full band performance.”
