Ghost & Writer - Red Flags

The German-Belgian collaboration of Frank Spinath (Seabound / Edge of Dawn) and Jean-Marc Ledermann (The Weathermen) with their second album! Together they represent a powerful yet melancholic version of Electronic Pop, building an odd contrast to the tragically haunting lyrics of Spinath.

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, all the songs reveal their second nature, sometimes darker, sometimes brighter, but usually ending similarly … tragic.

Spinath has asked befriended musicians for their personal interpretation of the songs because he respects their music: he wanted to be sure that the end result of the album is coherent,” explains Spinath. For him, the album is like a Mad Max movie, “Apocalypse for the soul and a full-speed collision course”. In the end, everyone loses.” The only one winning might be the listener, who appreciates the contrast between dark content in a catchy music package. The mastering of the record was done by an absolute EBM icon: Daniel Bressanutti of Front 242 mastered the entire record production.
