Former SUGARCUBES and K.U.K.L. front man Einar rn has hooked up with Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Curver to form Ghostigital. Curver's background is as eclectic as the music he dabbles in: a producer, artist, a remixer (Sigur Ros), a music teacher. Ghostigital's Les Demoiselles de Avignon is named In Cod We Trust. Welcome! You're really in for a fantastic treat. Unmistakably Icelandic, their subjects could have multiple national origins - exchange codfish for. well, anything and you get the meaning.In 1940s America, "fish" was slang for the dollar and there, the joke of the album is easily apparent. Whether Einar is commenting on what he sees while standing in line at the grocery store, men who are fixated on fish or seeing the Northern Lights through a headache, his songs are still stories of relationships with average living, a lifestyle that merges the mundane with the sublime. While the genre-mashing In Cod We Trust pulls the aesthetic rug out from under a listener's expectations, one should not fear that they are lost in a pop music sea. Ghostigital fashions an aural forest of industrial, Bel Canto, Jazz, Rap, '80's New Wave, and Electronic music- just not necessarily in that order or only at one time. For this album they recruited: Ipecac Recordings label mates Mugison and D lek, as well as Mark E. Smith, Sensational, Katie-Jane Garside, Steve Beresford, sger ur J n usd ttir and Hrafn sgeirsson including Einar's own son Kaktus playing trumpet.
