Brokaw, Chris (Codeine) - Ghost Ship

Four years after his rock juggernaut, 'Puritan', Chris Brokaw delivers 'Ghost Ship', a landscape meditation (at sea) for vocals and electric guitars. "I set out to make an 8 song statement like 'Desert Shore' or 'Raw Power', but it became a 9 song... something else. I've described it to friends as Twin Peaks-ish but that feels only part right. The songs were written on a 60's Teisco Del Rey electric guitar, set up by the Belgian luthier Flip Scipio with heavy gauge flat wound strings and an .80 gauge low E string tuned down to a low A, which reframes how you play the instrument. I wrote them all quickly in a kind of fever."—Brokaw
