Ghinzu return with their fourth studio album andtheir first in 17 years, W.O.W.A, out via Play ItAgain Sam.
The record has been a work in progress for sometime, with Ghinzu having written almost 90 fullyfledged ideas for their new album, before whittlingthis down to the final tracklisting. We had all thesehard drives everywhere, recalls Ghinzu frontmanJohn Descamps. We wanted to gather 10 trackstogether to really represent all those years of
condensed work.
The results take Ghinzu back to basics, beforeblasting them into uncharted territories. Theirformative influences – the energy and expressionof Queen; the raucous grunge noise of Nirvanaand Melvins – remain, alongside their passion forvisual art. Name-checking the painters GerhardRichter and Francis Bacon as points of inspiration,they stepped back from their perfectionist leaningsto embrace music at its most raw and powerful.
Travelling to Los Angeles studio Hillside Manor,Ghinzu worked alongside the hugely experiencedfigure of Dave Sardy on this record, a crucialindividual who became an additional member ofthe band.
The results speak for themselves. W.O.W.A is aterrific record, laced with raw pulsions and
engineered tensions. The distillation of a decade’sworth of ideas, it finds Ghinzu revelling in creativematurity.
