Description
Carley and Jonathan Wolf named themselves The Ghost Wolves as a symbol of their band's ferocious, primal sound and a nod to Carley's ranch upbringing among hybrid wolves. The married duo are inspired by Delta blues, loud garage rock, and American roots music - a genre they call "stomp and roll."
The album was made at Austin's Arlyn Studios (where Ray Charles, Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughan and more have recorded), and was mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, the Ramones, the Clash). Their garage swamp stretches beyond just the U.S., garnering international attention. Rolling Stone Italia raves, "They play stomping blues-garage-punk possessed by who knows what kind of demon...their music has just the right overdose of voodoo punk."
With nothing but a four-piece drum kit and an electric guitar, Carley and Jonny create a huge sound. The heavy, femme fatale track, "Shotgun Pistol Grip," recorded on Carley's signature one-string guitar, was recently featured on this season of Showtime's Shameless television series.
