Terrascope Reviews Ghost Notes

Mad Planet hail from California and do a kind of spaced out disco electronica on their new album “Ghost Notes.” The band is a trio, with a female bassist/vocalist, drums, electronica and a smattering of guitars; the tracks are mostly a kind of torch song from somewhere in an alternative cosmic past. The opening pair of tracks are so-so, but ‘Let It Begin’ is more striking, with breathy vocals and a sparse, yet exciting mix, which recalls the disco classics of Blondie more than anything else: an album highlight. ‘The Unknown’ features a particularly good vocal and a nice thrumming bass line before it goes into heavy sequencer and drum territory - a good cut. ‘Run To The Sea’ has an ‘eighties thing going on, not least in the guitar sound, but a good chorus, while ‘I Want You’ and ‘The Outlaw’ evoke Blondie, with the latter featuring a nice viola part from Danny Graziani. ‘Two Of Us’ is another album highlight - nice multitracked vocals, a tribal feel, quite a dark atmosphere. Album closer ‘Slowly I Turn’ is slow and spooky, with minimal instrumentation - a thought provoking closer. A very good album, this, with much to recommend it. Comparisons to Blondie aren’t far from the mark, there being a similarity in timbre and delivery between Debbie Harry’s voice and Cooper Gillespie. Recommended.

The record release party at The Satellite on Tuesday night was a big success and I think everyone has finally recovered from the evening’s tomfoolery. Big thanks to Tic Tic Boom and Ballerina Black for playing some great rock and roll and promoting their butts off. Great job guys!

Video Blog and Mad Planet News Update

Hello Earthlings!

Greetings from Mad Planet with a video blog and news update.

This week was great for us as we finished shooting our music video for our new song “Inside Outburst.” It’s a roller-disco themed video complete with roller-girls and dance freaks.

We’d like to extend an enormous thank you to our friends at The Indie Work Force, who made this whole video a reality. They worked tirelessly on the concept until they got it right. Great job you guys! We’re looking forward to the finished product.   

Watch this Video clip of Making Inside Outburst! 

And finally…..

This Tuesday! Blast off with us to the Satellite in Silverlake as we celebrate the release of our new record “Ghost Notes.” It’s a free event. There will be free giveaways, suprises, and best of all great music. Tic Tic Boom! and Ballerina Black will be performing there as well.
