GHOSTWOMAN + Das Günther

GHOSTWOMAN - Hindsight is 50/50
Despite ‘Hindsight Is 50/50’ being the third album from GHOSTWOMAN in 18 month songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Evan Uschenko believes that this is the first album that “finally captures the true nature of the band”.
The album was recorded mostly live in three days at the analogue Kerwax studios in Brittany, France by Christophe Chavanon (The Good Damn).
Uschenko states that “the first two albums were never meant to be albums: they are like pages from diaries that have long since been burned. With the introduction of Ille van Dessel as co-writer/drummer, the project feels like it has a direction”.
There is a confidence and assurance that feels built upon the 2022 eponymous debut and the follow-up ‘Anne, If’, which was only released in January 2023. This urgency to progress and keep moving forward is reflected by the band: “We prefer to keep busy. But we’re lazy too. We still feel like we could be doing a lot more.”
Overall, there is a darker, denser feel compared to previous releases, but the sound and vibe of this album is more akin to what the project was supposed to be when it started in 2016, finally realising GHOSTWOMAN’s creative vision.
The immersion into the album is immediate, locking in with the incessant riffing of ‘Bonehead’ setting the scene for what follows. Next up is the echoey, garage-surf twang of ‘Alright Alright’. The opening line “take a little walk with me...” has a sinister, gothic hue that wouldn’t feel out of place on Murder Ballads or Peaky Blinders.
Sonically the album holds itself together within a warm, analogue soundworld, but with few digestible vocal melodies steering the tracks or easily giving up their meaning. This is a conscious decision, with Uschenko claiming that “there is never a concept when it comes to creating something, and no intention behind anything we create, other than to make noise and complete an album”.
‘Yoko’ reverts to chugging boogie, spitting into life in bursts of squalling guitars, and a mid-song breakdown that infers the live version will far outlive its three and a half recorded minutes.
Most songs are similarly restrained in their running time, indicating a strong sense of focus and editing, rather than letting the songs run away with themselves. Only ‘Juan’ really breaks the five-minute mark and feels like the album’s centrepiece; an exuberant amalgamation of the themes and tones surrounding it. The band say that “these songs were made to be played live”, and the closing build will work perfectly in the darkest, noisiest club you can find.
The title track continues this positive curve. The title is a play on the saying ‘Hindsight is 20/20’, based on a friend’s drunken tattoo gone wrong. “Maybe it means life is all chance. Maybe it means common sense isn't so common”, say the band.
Vocals come drenched in reverb and meaning is often suggested rather than explicit. The guitars are heavier and the vocals are less easily discernible, but Uschenko believes that “vocals are not important. We prefer to not be understood. If you’re looking for meaning in these lyrics, might I suggest buying a Lenny Bruce record instead?”. Sound advice indeed, so immerse yourself in this album and tell your friends about it without the benefit of hindsight, 20/20 or otherwise.
Overall, GHOSTWOMAN appreciate that they have arrived at where they always wanted to get to: “It is the sound it was meant to be. It is the band as a whole”.
The album is released on limited edition vinyl, CD and digital on 24 November 2023.

2cl Sommerkino: LOVES LIES BLEEDING

USA 2024, Spielfilm, 104 min, FSK 16
REGIE:Rose Glass
MIT:Kristen Stewart, Katy O'Brien, Jena Malone, Anna Baryshnikov, Dave Franco
SPRACHE:OmU (Englisch mit deutschen Untertiteln)

Auf der Durchreise nach Las Vegas lernt Bodybuilderin Jackie die verschlossene Fitnessstudio-Managerin Lou in einem Kaff in New Mexico kennen. Zwischen den beiden knistert es sofort und sie fühlen sich nicht nur körperlich zueinander hingezogen. Doch ihre Beziehung provoziert blutige Gewalt. Die beiden verstricken sich tief in die Machenschaften von Lous krimineller Familie, in der ihr Vater als Waffenhändler alle dominiert.

Sex, Blut und Gewaltszenen erstrahlen in diesem Film in leuchtenden Neonfarben und 80er-Jahre-Ästhetik. Kristen Stewart ist gerade in einer Phase, in der sie „the gayest thing you have ever seen“ machen wollte. Ob das gelungen ist, müssen alle selbst entscheiden. Sicher ist, dass gegen die Chemie zwischen den Hauptdarsteller*innen Kristen Stewart und Katy O’Brien „selbst die stärksten Anabolika fast schon harmlos wirken.“ (kino-zeit)

ENG: Reclusive gym manager Lou falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family. (English with German subtitles)
