space ghost: private paradise
Francisco Espregueira
Over the past few years Space Ghost has been cementing is sound trademark, most notably on his stellar releases through Tartelet Records and Apron. Now he joins the Pacific Rhythm roster and drops a mesmerizing collection of tracks that represent an ode to the time he spent at Sea Ranch on the Northern California coast - a place he and his partner visit to refresh their spirit and regain optimism and enthusiasm for the outside world. Private Paradise is composed by eight sultry productions of supreme taste, delving into ambient sounds and rhythmic progressions that feel both nostalgic and ecstatic.
Possessing a rare ability to restore, rejuvenate, and inspire through each listen, Private Paradise is an album that grows steadily. Mysteriously. Emotionally. Space Ghost provides an experience that goes beyond the sound, making us reminisce on moments we’ve lived, people we’ve met, movies we’ve seen. All passing by in this strange fast-forward speed, that sits well with the calmness the record transmits. Deep, contemplative, and uplifting, Private Paradise is our meditation practice for the next months to come. Available on vinyl.
