The Focus Group is the work of Ghost Box co-founder Julian House. His graphic design has graced sleeve art by Broadcast, Stereolab, Oasis, Primal Scream, Can and many others. House’s music reflects his collaged design work; it’s woven together from fragments of electronics, heavily processed samples and exotic instrumentation. It’s an uncanny and atmospheric sound that invokes memories of British psychedelia, Italian horror movies and Eastern European animation.
The lavish CD and LP packaging is designed by Julian House. The 180gm LP includes a free download card.
“...the spirit of a certain experimental, baroque psychedelia is alive in every one of these tunes.”
The Quietus
“...this is an archaeology of emotion, a philosophically motivated exploration of the power of not just one's childhood memories, but of the collective unconscious.”
The Wire
“...a simultaneously playful and unsettling electronic psychedelia that's distinctly Ghost Box and richly rewarding.”
