Wooden Ghost - True Gold Does Not Fear The Refiners Fire CD new
This band is lead by Brent Cole who also plays Drums for DUFUS
Wooden Ghost sound like: Neil Young, RZA, Dinosaur Jr., papa m, Hugh Mundell, Sly
and Robbie, built to spill, Donny Hathaway and so many more.
Wooden Ghost is the crossing point where the pavement turns to gravel road.
The
Brooklyn based musicians have finished a new full length and are
issuing a challenge to the music industry, it's critics and pedagogues,
and it's right in the title... 'True Gold Does Not Fear the Refiners Fire'.
Heavy guitars and dynamic drumming set the stage for endless melodies
and swift time changes that leave the listener, and live audiences
swirling.
A multi-instrumentalist in the studio and on stage, Brent Cole composed
and recorded his first 3 original EP's as Ask the Dust, finding
inspiration in musicians spanning several genres, including: J. Mascis
of Dinosaur Jr., Neil Young and Built to Spill. Continuing to record
and perform with such New York City luminaries as Dufus, The Moldy
Peaches and several others, Brent placed Wooden Ghost in the driver's
seat, entering the studio in the fall of 2002 to record their debut
album.
Wooden Ghost features the soaring lead guitar of
Scott Loving and thunderous drumming of
Michael Napolitano, long time friends and collaborators. The true live (and recorded) sound was solidified with the melodic bass of
Mark Ospovat,
also WG's Engineer in the studio. Lyrically reflective, rhythmically
bold, Brent has a hand in the engineering of the band's sound and
brings his experience of performing in front of global audiences to the
table.
Wooden Ghost has released two full-length albums and two
collaborative split vinyl recordings. In addition, the band has
independently organized their own tours in both the United Kingdom and
throughout the North East. Critics in the United States and abroad
consistently praise the sound of Wooden Ghost.
