Hanalei is the solo efforts of one Brian Moss, started several months prior to the disbandment of Chicago's post-punk outfit The Ghost. Where as The Ghost capitalized on a number of influences that ran the gamut from Hot Water Music to [insert legendary Chicago punk band here], Moss orchestrates things a little differently - We Are All Natural Disasters is a wonderful little bout of partially-electro, acoustically-accompanied indie pop with slight shades of folk.

i think this stuff is allright... I'm wondering how long Brian will be able to put up with himself and not quit like every other band member he's been with. I love this record more and more everytime i hear it. top 5 of 2004 in my list. I drink Koala pee. they've gone one last show coming up in january When did The Ghost break up? Thats fucking horrible news to find out on Christmas. RIP the ghost. i thought this said helmet, but its not. helmet rocked. this cd is okay but dont dare compare it to mike kinsella beautiful record i love this record..."beacon in the distance" is the standout no but neither are you? it's easy enough to piss you off isn't it. Who are you, the supreme authority of all music? i told you to listen to this didnt i? i saw him (them? he had another guy with him) open for the new trust. i enjoyed it. Oops, I had more to say. I just don't feel this type of music to be effective in delivering political lyrics. He should just go straight folk-rock, and ditch the whole electro-pop schtick. I've just never been able to get into it. I saw him play live, and after one of his songs he said, "I just realized how absolutely horrible that song really is. I really hate it." I couldn't have agreed with him more. It was a terrible song. |
