A few weeks ago we got all worked up over a taste of the new GHOST BOX ORCHESTRA record, Vanished. “Vader” was the lead track, and it was a menacing tune that showed a more darker side of the veteran Boston psych band. We described it as such: “A feral groan trudges forward over mechanical doom for more than seven minutes, and terror unfolds slowly until you’re just consumed by a swirling, ominous sound.” We literally could not wait to get the rest of this sonic head trip lodged between our ear holes, and now we have a set date to dance with the rest of the sure-to-be-amazing record: Tuesday, May 14.That’s the official release date for Vanished, but no doubt we’ll hear most or all of it in live, human form on Friday, May 10, when GBO celebrate their latest effort among friends and foes at the Middle East in Cambridge. Also on the record-releasing bill are Animal Hospital, Royal Wedding, and Ocular Audio Experiment. A DJ set from Ian Lawrence of Brobots, Soulelujah, and Barge Recordings keeps the music going after the bands until the Mid East kicks everyone out.
