Observe This!

Ghostland Observatory consists of two passionate musicians, Aaron Behrens and Thomas Ross Turner. Their genre of music is best classified as electronica, but there are big flare ups of rock and soul combined within. On the band's MySpace page, they describe their sound as "A robot making love to a tree!!" In 2005, the duo came out with their first album delete.delete.i. eat. meat. with label Trashy Moped Recordings. Not even a year later, their second album Paparazzi Lightning became available. The track "Sad Sad City" is a favorite from that album.

Last October they appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. A month later they released a DVD of them playing live from Austin, Texas, which is also where they live.

Robotique Majestique, their third record, was originally set for release on March 4th. Lucky us, it's out now, as of Tuesday. Check out their tour schedule here on their website, because if they're playing somewhere near, it is in your best interest to go see what they're all about. I have heard their shows are very fun and keep you moving and shaking. Unfortunately, none of their tour dates are bringing them my way, so I'll just live vicariously through those that can make a show.

March 6th, they'll be in Florida for the Langerado Festival. The festival has a moderately large and impressive lineup, so that's something for you if you need a spontaneous trip to something different and lively.

Hopefully by this time next year, their name will have spread even wider and we'll get to see them do their thing. With such a offbeat sound that what anyone is used to, they are bound to amplify and mystify.
