Up to this point, everything released by Curtin (Jason Rueger and Austin Nelson of the band Country Mice) has been eerily pretty and comparable to the most atmospheric work of Will Oldham or Bill Callahan. “I’m a Ghost,” which features contributions from Wilco pianist/keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen, seems to come from another place entirely. It’s quiet-to-thunderous dynamics, chugging rhythm and controlled noise bursts have more in common with Spiderland than anything under the Americana umbrella.

Below, you can check out our premiere of “I’m a Ghost,” which was taken from the forthcoming LP One For the Doghearted (due out September 30th on Wonderland Archives). (Words by Michael Wojtas)
