CFE Releases New Cohen's Ghost CD

Eerie yet melodic sounds permeate Cohen's Ghost: From Shadow, a new CD released by Charlie Foxtrot Entertainment. Described by Tom Kraemer (GodsOfMusic) as "a fine example of what vocal world music should sound like," this album follows Cohen's Ghost: Songs of Lingering Shades.

Cohen, a veteran of the 1st Gulf War, is a musician and artist at CFE. Recently he wrapped up scoring the music for a number of animated video trailers for IDW Publishing including: Transformers: All Hail Megatron, Joe Hill's Locke & Key, and Tom Waltz' and Casey Malone's Children of the Grave, a graphic novel co-published by CFE.

Cohen's subtle, haunted sound is an outgrowth of long, lonely nights spent as a child, growing up along the shores of Virginia and the Carolinas. The son of a fisherman's son, Cohen thrived on a diet of fish and stories told by local fishermen. "It's all about telling those stories of loss and longing," he recently said, "and about times and places long past, and the emotions those stories evoke. As a child I was haunted by the stories told to me by the old fishermen; stories of murder and loss. I try to put those feelings into my music."

Cohen's Ghost: From Shadow, and Songs of Lingering Shades are available from Amazon.com, CDBaby.com, iTunes, and other MP3 download services and music outlets. More information about Cohen's Ghost can be found at: Cohensghost.com, Charliefoxtrotfilms.com, and MySpace.com/cohensghost.

Ghost Reviews:

"Cohen's Ghost is a fine example of what vocal world music should sound like. Blending deep percussion based grooves with smooth and seductive vocals, Cohen's Ghost has not only managed to create a lush, haunting, and seductive soundscape of smooth vocals and instrumentation, but he has also managed to make my my mind drift into a different time in my life.
The album contains an excellent mix of sounds and textures ranging from deeply rhythmic percussion, to wispy woodwind sounds, haunting vocal overlays, and the occasional creepy ambient piano. Layered exquisitely, nothing on this album seems out of place. The sounds fit together as if they were genetically designed to do so.
While Cohen's Ghost did a great job with producing the album's wonderful instrumentation, arrangement, and flow, the real highlight are his vocals. The lead vocalist's soft and raspy vocals are chilling and surreal, carrying a Bruce Springteenesque quality. though not always overly melodic, they are, however, extremely evocative. They flow along with the smooth and eerie soundscape beautifully.
High marks are given for song structure, production, and recording quality. This is a wonderful album and not something simply thrown together.
Bottom line, Songs of Lingering Shades is a highly recommended listen."

"... Cohen's Ghost's
songs are laid back and
absolutely mesmerizing."

"Wow... A very trippy sound that reminds me of Trent Reznor meets Icehouse. With the story telling mashed up against a decidedly alternative beat and minimalist guitars. I don't know how exaclty to describe Cohen's Ghost, I just know that I like it.... He is like Edgar Alan Poe with music. I must leave now, as Cohen's Ghost is haunting me."
