Description
Black vinyl, cover with spot varnish, printed innersleeve w/lyrics. The Burning Hell have been writing party anthems about the apocalypse since before the apocalypse arrived at the party. With "Ghost Palace," the band presents their most joyful collection of songs about death to date, always finding something to smile about in the decay. Mathias Kom's maximalist lyrics are underlined with fluorescent highlighter, with surprising twists and turns through pop culture, animal life, history, architecture, and science fiction. Pathos and bathos vie for equal time, the sublime snuggling up with the trivial, revealing moments of humour and beauty in the mire. But "Ghost Palace" doesn't dwell directly on the end of the world. Instead, the songs assume that our time running out is a foregone conclusion, and focus instead on what we might leave behind when we go, what might endure, and what surprises might be found amidst the remnants. Memory and the debatable usefulness of nostalgia are primary concerns here, peppered with occasional suggestions that we just might still contain the tiny, hopeful seeds of our own redemption through community and balance.
