Zak Olsen, the creative force behind the guitar riffs of Australian doom psych band Orb, is set to release his highly anticipated solo album, Ghost Notes, under his Traffik Island moniker. 12 Esoteric Instrumentals for Ethereal Beings feels like going on an acid trip through a haunted house, where folk melodies merge seamlessly with jazz rhythms and psychedelic textures. Creating freakout moments such as the track ‘Pandemoniom!’ featuring Kenny Ambrose-Smith of King Gizzard and haunting folk horror moments on ‘winds’ Fans of esoteric instrumentals and spooky soundscapes alike will find much to love in this haunting collection. Frank Maston of Maston captures the essence of Ghost Notes perfectly: “Olsen has created a monster - channeling Joe Meek, Goblin, and Broadcast in this cursed disc of groovy fugues. Traffik Island may be alive and well in these tracks, delivering premium melodies with ease, but the undead certainly had their say. Mixing terrifyingly sick beats with warped organs, sinister synths, and spooky found sounds, this is the horror movie soundtrack we deserve. An instant Halloween classic.”
