Artist: Fake Problems Title: Real Ghosts Caught On Tape Label: SideOneDummy Genre: Indie Bitrate: 200kbit av. Time: 00:37:52 Size: 57.23 mb Rip Date: 2010-09-11 Str Date: 2010-09-21 01. ADT 3:57 02. 5678 3:40 03. Songs For Teenagers 3:46 04. RSVP 2:55 05. Soulless 2:51 06. Complaint Dept. 3:21 07. Done With Fun 2:56 08. The Magazine 2:58 09. White Lies 3:07 10. Grand Finale 5:06 11. Ghost To Coast 3:15 Release Notes: It seems those in the know are already anticipating the arrival of Real Ghosts Caught On Tape, and IÆm happy to tell you that itÆs been worth the wait. If, like me, youÆve been itching to get your mitts on the album since the release of æSoullessÆ a few weeks ago then you wonÆt be disappointed. I know I talk about Fake Problems a lot, and maybe some people out there will see this as me, yet again, bigging up one of my favorite bands. ThereÆs no doubt thatÆs exactly what IÆm doing, but you wonÆt find any false praise here. Real Ghosts Caught On Tape is one of the best albums of 2010. Fact. Right from the off, it punches you in the face with a plethora of sounds, all of them building up and easing the listener into a fantastic audio experience. The album perfectly encompasses what Fake Problems are all about û great music, great lyrics and a great time. It shows off the serious side of the band, but is still filled with music to dance to. Each track also bares the trademark introspective nature that IÆve always appreciated about the music these guys make. ItÆs been a hard album to review, but I think I mightÆve cracked it. Fake Problems brand of indie-punk has always been different; quirky might be the best way to put it. Musically their records are ever changing and you canÆt accuse them of repeating themselves or re-hashing songs. ThereÆs a definite retro feel to this record that sets Real Ghostsà apart from their previous work and the work of their peers. ItÆs a highly influenced record, but no track seems derivative of anything thatÆs gone before. Overall, the album has a very 1960?s sound, but I noticed nods to The Cure amongst other bands in there too. I like the fact that itÆs thematically similar to their previous albums û thereÆs still mentions of religion and the occult û but thereÆs a lot that sets it apart from How Far Our Bodies Go or ItÆs Great To Be Alive. Fake ProblemsÆ music definitely relies on personal experience a lot, but itÆs on this record that it really shines through. æSongs For TeenagersÆ is a perfect example. The subject matter is personal, itÆs definitely more serious, but itÆs also one that many will be able to relate to. Throughout the album thereÆs minor pieces of percussion that really make it the sonic tour de force that it is. ThereÆs no doubt in my mind that Ted Hutt had some part to play in these subtle inclusions. He seems to have brought the best out of the songs, and Fake Problems as a band. Ted is definitely one of the best producers out there, and he seems to understand where each band he works with is coming from. He takes whatÆs good and improves on it. HeÆs made a band with a big sound, into a band with a huge sound. Tracks like: æADTÆ, æDone With FunÆ and, of course, æSoullessÆ show this off perfectly. Those slower songs arenÆt neglected either, something that will please a lot of fans. ThereÆs always been a unique-rawness to Fake ProblemsÆ music. This is definitely still there, but is less prevalent. ChrisÆ vocals are quite a bit softer in comparison to previous efforts. Whether this was a conscious decision or not, I donÆt know. What I do know is that itÆs a non-issue. ItÆs different, but the effect is still as powerful. I want to allay fears that something is lost or the album is over-produced. Believe me, thatÆs not the case. ItÆs safe to say this will be the bandÆs most mainstream effort to date, but thatÆs not a problem. ThereÆll be a few out there who slap on the æsell outÆ sticker û as there is with every band when they put out something new û but Real Ghostsà just shows that, as a band, Fake Problems are evolving and their music is too. ItÆs a natural progression and one that will be welcomed with open arms by the majority of their fan base. So, if youÆre a Fake Problems fan then youÆre not going to be disappointed. If youÆre looking for something new and interesting to listen to, then look no further. This Floridian four-pieceÆs quirky, brand of indie-punk could be for you.
