pye corner audio: sleep games

Pye Corner Audio is the latest addition to the Ghost Box roster. It's the work of Kent based, former studio engineer Martin Jenkins, a regular live guest at Ghost Box's Belbury Youth Club events. It's possible to detect echoes of John Carpenter, Italohorror soundtracks and a kind of post rave meltdown in Jenkins' submerged disco and spectral electronics. In one sense something of a departure for Ghost Box but at the same time a perfect fit for the label's aesthetic, expanding its imaginary parallel past into an alternative future of concrete and ghosts. The usual lavish sleeve art by Julian House puts flesh on Pye Corner's electric bones. The visual ideas were worked up by House based on concepts developed by author and journalist Mark Fisher in conjunction with Jenkins himself and the label's boss Jim Jupp. The whole package adds beautifully to the on going, half-glimpsed narrative of the Ghost Box world and opens up new avenues for the label.
