Ghost & Writer
Red Flags
The band is a german- belgium collaboration of Frank Spinath and Jean-Marc Ledermann, aka Jimmyjoe Snark III. The earlier is the "Writer", also knows as the charismatic voice from Seabound and Edge of Dawn. The latter is the "Ghost", one part of the Belgium electronic duo "The Weathermen". Together they represent a powerful yet melancholic version of Electronic Pop, building an odd contrast to the tragically haunting lyrics of Spinath. "Just The Same" centres around the thoughts of a suicide candidate, whose hope on any good ending has ultimately vanished. The line "The road is wrong, and here you are, speeding further on" send shivers down the careful listeners spine. Then the listener is confronted with the wrath of a murderer, who feels betrayed of his entire lifes fate. And he can feel the melancholy edged into those little short stories. Each of the eight tracks on "Red Flags" is presented in two versions. The first eight songs are the originals by Ghost & Writer, the next eight are remixes. Like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, alls the songs reveal their second nature, sometimes darker, sometimes brighter, but usually ending similarly . tragic.
