Spindrift - Ghost of the West
Los Angeles psychedelic spaghetti-western rock band SPINDRIFT release its new album Ghost of the West on October 22, 2014 via Tee Pee. The penultimate documentation of SPINDRIFT's fascination with the surreal qualities and legendary mythos of the Wild West, the album is described as a "sonic western exploration into the Great Unknown" and "an homage to "everything Western." The record was inspired by the group's 2012 "Ghost Town Tour", a five week, self-guided tour through more than 20 of America's western ghost towns. During the trip, many landmarks, tourist attractions (Deadwood, South Dakota), western museums and monuments (such as Cathedral Gorge State Park and Arizona's Sonoran National Desert) were reached and at every stop along the way, SPINDRIFT made field recordings and performed live, putting their "spin" on classic, Golden Era cowboy songs of the old West. SPINDRIFT: Ghost of the West is not only a new SPINDRIFT album, it is also a Motion Picture Soundtrack that
