Ghostking‘post-mortem’ from Cork

What you may need to know…

01. Last we saw of young Corkman Matt Corrigan’s solo ‘post-mortem’ project Ghostking, he’d just released his second E.P.

02. Latest extended-player Leaf sees Corrigan move away from guitars and reverb, and into more structured, keys-and-beats territory, for the main.

03. It’s streaming above, rolled out quietly over Spotify last weekend, and released last night on Bandcamp, etc on a free/donations.

04. No word yet on more live appearances – the lad is three extended-players into his body of work and hasn’t even done his Leaving Cert, in fairness.

Verdict: As technically accomplished as you’d expect from a musical prodigy, with a bone-dry sense of humour to boot. Grand.

Ghostkingreleased new EP

What you may need to know…

01. Oddball, noisy/reverby pop is the order of the day for Cork’s Matt Corrigan, operating under the pseudonym Ghostking.

02. Surfacing as a solo project from Cork’s diminutive but feverishly active all-ages music scene, Corrigan garnered local attention with a (since deleted) debut EP earlier this year.

03. Streaming above is new extended-player Journal of Public Affairs, available now for free download.

04. You know you’re onto something when an artist willingly labels themselves as “Post-Mortem”. In fairness.

Verdict: All manner of hyper-self-aware sarcasm, alongside a healthy disregard for anyone else’s opinion on same, married to some nicely barebones songwriting.
