SOUND

This is music from another world; a world in which time seems to have come to a standstill; in which the phantoms of the past and present urge, murmur, and demand all the more pressingly. Are we already dreaming or are we still awake? I Grew Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep reads the title of the new album by Obaro Ejimiwe alias Ghostpoet: The British-Nigerian singer and producer has reduced and condensed the rhythmic and acoustic heritage of trip-hop even more consequently than on previous works into a music of traumatic uncanniness: dystopian blues for a world in which catastrophe must be fended off each day anew.
