'OCEAN GHOSTS' - NATURAL NUMBERS


After announcing the demise of his recording alias, Natural Numbers, Trevor Fitzhugh has re-emerged like from the flames of non-existence with the ‘Ocean Ghosts’ E.P. If certain rappers are allowed to keep on saying they’re retiring and then coming back, then it’s all fair game in our eyes.

Originally conceived as the full length follow up-to out #14 album of last year ‘Forest Diving’, ‘Ocean Ghosts’ has now been scaled-down to an E.P. and leaked onto the internet as a free download over the weekend. Over its 23 minute run-time, Trevor brings together Fennesz-like ambient sketches, pulverizing hardcore and a Q and Not U-esque-emo jam, before waves of guitar straight off ‘Loveless’ splash themselves over closing track ‘Powhattan’ – probably my favourite song of the year so far incidentally.

Ocean Ghosts’ will be release physically at some point in the future, so keep make sure you pick up a copy when it is, but for now, you can download the whole thing for free below.
