about

Third single from chordophone collective Lusitanian Ghosts, more of a world-music tinged mantra this time around rather than their usual rock n roll alt-folk fare. Released on Mikael Lundin's birthday, it heralds the album release for Lusitanian Ghosts III coming in September. Recorded live off the floor on 2" tape, mixed down in glorious mono and stereo versions to 1/4" tape, this chordophonic analogue extravaganza showcases the more moody, atmospheric side of Lusitanian Ghosts - although not without some vitriol.

Micke: The riff was written on the bed at hotel Luna in Setubal around the time of our Setúbal concert that we filmed. It sounds like an oriental chant with echoes of 90's britpop. What I remember was that I asked Leyton to write a lyric about everything we had enough of. Maybe not us in particular. What one could have had enough of. Or should’ve had enough of. But I’m not sure what the song is about, really. It is a certain mood. Happy birthday.

Neil: Punishment vs. reward. Or just too much reward. When Micke came up with the riff I remembered that George Michael line, "Most of us are not sure, if we have too much, but we'll take our chances..." from Listen Without Prejudice Vol. I, "Praying for Time", and so it went... there are also some Elliott Smith and Nikki Sudden references in there, but nothing too tragic. Some potential horsemen of the apocalypse, but only three. There is a small chance of survival.
