Description: | Black Light Smoke is the electronic music moniker of Jordan Lieb - producer, songwriter, and award
winning film and TV composer. A Chicago native, Jordan transplanted to New York City in 2001, where
his career as a multi-disciplined musician has taken flight in many forms.
Currently residing in upstate New York, Black Light Smoke returns to Scissor and Thread for his first
full length debut-album: Ghosts.
The 12 tracks (plus three digital bonus tracks) span everything from 90s house, smooth and deep soulful
beats, dusty grooves and thoughtful treaties on the state of creativity, capitalism and identity.
Itā??s a collection that sits together as a listening experience perfectly, building peaks and sliding into
serene troughs, all with a strong sense of radical thought and creative experimentation. Tracks bend and
warp in unexpected directions, while gritty, distortion and overdrive counterpoint classic rave stabs and
vocal samples. Taken as a whole, the album could be the soundtrack to a night drive through the city, as
much as certain tracks will no doubt find themselves woven into the sets of the more leftfield and genre
pushing DJs. Either way, itā??s an essential release from one of the most exciting and vital producers out
there and the first artist signed to Scissor and Thread back in 2011.
The album title, Ghosts, tells two stories. One is personal - an artist embracing the shadows of his past
in order to move forward and complete a body of work. The second story is a search for the original
meaning of house music - not just the usual sample, appropriation or casual nod to the originators of
house - but a meditation on the living story of Black America in which house music is an inseparable
chapter. Both stories are a reflection on grief and the transformation of trauma into celebration.
100% of Jordan Liebā??s personal proceeds from this record will go to Little Bit Foundation, empowering
students living in poverty to achieve their academic goals. - INCL.3 DIGITAL BONUSTRACKSReleased in a gatefold sleeve.
