The Nameless is back with his impersonal band – Ghost Bath brings a new soundtrack for the darkness of summer. If you feel a kind of disdain for the too many hours of sunshine in the upcoming weeks, then this might be the soundtrack for your recluse in solitudinous wait.

For approximately one month I’ve started my day with a good habit: every morning, while making the bed and preparing myself for work, I push play on the Bandcamp app and I listen to the spotlight songs of the New and Notable section: I must say that this introduced me to a lot of interesting artists, one of those is who is we talking about, Penelope Trappes.

Zack de la Rocha, Chino Moreno and now Ashanti Mutinta. Three very different people, three distinctly diverse agendas but one commonality: They use the word “Fuck” in the most poisonous, best possible, most poignant way! Her new record Only Dust Remains is a sure step in a new direction.
