SotD - Gozer Goodspeed

Ahead of next week's release of Gozer Goodspeed's new album Ghosts of the Future & Past, Lights & Lines record label has released a lyric video for Gambler's Last Day...

Ghosts of the Future & Past, a retrospective and expansive collection of songs by Plymouth’s most distinctive and imaginative songwriter, recontextualises Gozer Goodspeed’s incredible back catalogue for listeners and introduces some brand new, never-before-released tracks at the same time. The opening track on the album is a remastered version of Gambler's Last Day, which first appeared on Gozer's self-published album Running With the Outliers. 

Of the lyric video, Gozer Goodspeed said on his Facebook page, "The video is very cool, and is based on the animated short film ' A Step Into the Real' by Martine Bou Younes. Having never produced a lyric video like this myself, I was pretty surprised and delighted when I was shown this for the first time!"

Mike at Lights & Lines added the comment on the lyric video itself that "Part of the remit of the label has always been to amplify the voice of creators everywhere. So it felt right for us to spend hours trawling through creative commons libraries to find a piece of art that was largely unknown, and give it a new life through the music."

Rumour has it, though, that there is an ulterior motive to the the video release... keep your eyes on Lights & Lines social media (Twitter, Facebook) for upcoming news of a very creative sounding competition! 

Ghosts of the Future & Past will be released on 30th July as a 4 panel, environmentally friendly CD Digipak and as a digital download via Bandcamp and you can pre-order the album NOW.
