The Sand Pebbles - Ghost Transmissions

Ghost Transmissions is the second studio album by Australian psychedelic rock band The Sand Pebbles, originally released in 2004 via Raoul Records.

The Sand Pebbles are an Australian psychedelic rock band, formed in Melbourne in 2001. The band that recorded this album comprised Christopher Hollow (bass), Ben Michael (guitar), Piet Collins (drums), Andrew Tanner (guitar, vocals) and Murray Ono (keyboards).

The Times UK described Ghost Transmissions as full of “propulsive indie-rock songs with retro psychedelic sounds.” with the epic 11 minute track “Black Sun Ensemble” being “one of those slow-burning, snake-charming epics that comes along once in a generation”.

“Psychedelic flower-punk” with “songs in no particular hurry; they ebb and flow, with old guitars enhanced by effects pedals, snaking and locking and gradually building into cacophonies of guitars and sun-kissed explosions of melody” was how Patrick Donnovan experienced this masterpiece in The Age

So was Ghost Transmissions received upon initial release on CD in 2004. Now, 14 years later, this classic Australian neo-psych album is getting a full international vinyl release.

Cardiinal Fuzz (UK) and Kasumuen Records are very proud to co-release Ghost Transmissions on vinyl in the UK/Europe and Australia.
