专辑简介


Following a series of appearances on labels such as Melodic or Static Caravan, Dublin-based artist Thomas Haugh, who officiates under the Hulk banner, is now releasing Silver Thread Of Ghosts, his debut album, on new Irish imprint Osaka Recordings. The result of over a year’s work, this album follows a growing trend in electronic music that sees musicians assimilating complex electronic structures with classical-inspired soundscapes. Here, Haugh combines found sounds and treated field recordings with live instrumentation, including acoustic guitar and cello, to create a rather haunting series of compositions.
  All along the forty minutes and eleven tracks that make out this record, there is an impression of inherent activity to the music crafted by Haugh, highlighted by the various layers of external noises and sounds applied. Haugh is said to have spent the last ten years travelling across Eastern Europe. Silver Threads Of Ghosts is indeed inhabited with ghosts of bohemian folklore, and the rampant melancholy that is found here could certainly be traced down to the hills of Romania. Yet, Haugh manages to contain the atmospheric nature of this record to avoid uneasy pathos. Instead, he crafts a series of short evocative vignettes from which he builds the cinematic aspect of his work. With the occasional help of Kevin Murphy (cello, bass) and Rohan Hennessy (acoustic guitar), Haugh articulates his compositions wisely, keeping the orchestration to the minimal. On tracks such as We Swam, Photographs or Quixote, this translates into delicate melodic formations waxing and waning at will over waves of strings, while elsewhere, as on 8.52am Goodbye, found sounds appear to take over for a moment. Even when the mood becomes threatening, as on the gloomy The Moon Versus The Sea or Mytikas, Haugh balances it with airy bells and chimes.
  This first full-length effort from Hulk’s Thomas Haugh is a truly breath-taking piece of work. If parallels can be drawn between Haugh’s work and recordings by the like of Murcof, Colleen or Deaf Center, it doesn’t in any way give this album justice. Silver Thread Of Ghosts is haunting, captivating and doesn’t bear much resemblance to anything else.
