Ginger Leigh
Ginger Leigh, “Merchant Of Death”, Independent, 2008
Este artista norteamericano comienza en 1998 y “Merchant Of Death” es su novena entrega.
Se mantiene realmente en la esfera independiente, auto produciendo sus discos, sin entrevistas en la web y dejando que su música hable por sí sola. Y por cierto que su música es realmente inesperada e impredecible.
Leigh combina los ritmos del Medio Oriente, pesados tambores del género industrial, exótica, folk y rock psicodélico, entre otros estilos.
Algunos de los temas también aparecen en su anterior trabajo “Ginger Leigh and the Hallucinations” (2007), como “I’d rather want to see”, cuya cítara despliega melodías orientales, una filuda guitarra que va in crescendo en su agudeza y produce un sonido distorsionado como si alguien estuviera gritando. También viñetas de viejas películas se entremezclan con estilos musicales impredecibles.
Leigh crea música interesante que solo está disponible en su sitio web:

The North American artist has been active since 1998 and “Merchant Of Death” is his ninth installment to date.
He keeps himself in the real independent sphere, self-producing his albums; no interviews on the web and letting his music speak by itself. And by the way, his music is really unexpected and unpredictable as well.
He combines Middle Eastern rhythms, heavy bass drums in the likes of industrial music, exotica, folk and psyche rock among other styles.
Some of the songs also appear on his previous “Ginger Leigh and the Hallucinations” (2007) album, like “I’d rather want to see”: a sitar that spreads out an Eastern tune, a crunching guitar that goes in crescendo and produces a distorted sound like someone’s screaming. Also, snippets of old movies interweave with unpredictable music styles.
Leigh creates amazing music which is only available through his website:
