Best known for his work with avant-indie-rockers Parts & Labor, Dan Friel stepped out on his own for GHOST TOWN, a lo-fi electronic tour de force. Harnessing the inherent sonic possibilities of such unlikely electronic sources as toy instruments and household items, Friel crafted a dizzying array of swirling, fuzzy electro-riffs and hazy, distorted beats, making for a listening experience that's simultaneously danceable, dreamy, and often downright strange, but undeniably fun throughout.
