Comprised of vocalist Dru Allen (This Ascension, Mirabilis) and multi-instrumentalist Erick R. Scheid (Translucia), the band\u2019s sound is distinctly reminiscent of \u201890s-era Projekt acts. Ranging from the heavy moodiness and guitar drone of Lycia to the unadorned acoustic beauty of Love Spirals Downwards to the passionate rock of This Ascension, the duo also draws on ambient and tribal influences, contemporary electronica, the sweet melodic pop of 4AD, and the blissful guitar noise of bands like Curve.  <\/p>\n<p>Guitarist\/instrumentalist Scheid co-founded the band Translucia in 1994. After appearing on the Cocteau Twins tribute Half Gifts on the now defunct Dewdrops label, Translucia were signed to Toronto\u2019s Plan 11 label, which released two albums. Allen has studied and performed rock, heavenly voices, classical and world music for over 25 years. Best known for fronting the darkwave act This Ascension she is also one-half of the neo-classical, heavenly voices band Mirabilis. <\/p>\n<p>The two met in 2010 at a fateful Lovespirals show. Scheid, recognizing Allen from her work with This Ascension, approached her with the idea to collaborate on music. An enduring connection formed as Allen gave voice to a number of instrumentals Scheid had previously recorded. Other compositions came to life, spontaneously conceived as the two jammed with acoustic guitar and voice. They each brought their own unique approach to songwriting; Allen\u2019s soaring, multilayer vocals fused with Scheid&#8217;s electronic experimentation and trusty guitars to create songs of rarified style, power and grace. <\/p>\n<p>The title <B>A Waking Ghost Inside<\/B> refers to the spark within each of us, the impulse to create and discover the innate energy that unites us with immeasurable realms beyond. As humans, we experience a sense of longing to connect to oneself on a much deeper level. In our search we catch glimpses of other possibilities of life and spirit. <B>A Waking Ghost Inside<\/B> sonically explores these themes and the potential to awaken one\u2019s own authentic self.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of darkwave, heavenly voices and spacious atmospheres will find themselves at home within these 77 minutes: it&#8217;s an alchemy of harmonic, swirling guitars, lush, glimmering instrumentation, and Dru\u2019s dream-felt and sirenic vocals.<\/p>\n<p><B>A Waking Ghost Inside<\/B> was released April 22, 2014, coinciding with Mercury\u2019s Antennae\u2019s first ever West Coast tour. It sold out on February 23, 2016.<\/p>\n<p><\/TD><\/TR><\/TABLE><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 style=\"color:red;\">This item is out of print, and here for historical reasons.<\/h3><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/a-waking-ghost-inside\" TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4505,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,25,101,30,98,464,581],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-4504","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-darkwave","product_cat-dreampop","product_cat-ethereal","product_cat-goth","product_cat-mirabilis-artists","product_cat-this-ascension","pa_artist-mercurys-antennae","pa_format-4-panel-ecowallet-with-deluxe-8-page-fold-out-lyric-sheet","pa_label-projekt","pa_release-year-273","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-external","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4504"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4504"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4504"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
