Distributed by Revolver\/Midheaven (USA).<\/p>\n<p>Cool Ghouls play rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll. That&#8217;s about all there is to it. They&#8217;re California natives. They try to do a good job. They like to try to elevate and get far out. They also like to keep it real. They like to make friends and have a good time. They don&#8217;t like bullshit. They want to keep growing and learning how to become more powerful musicians. This record reflects the discoveries they&#8217;ve made over the last five years about live performance, themselves, and each other.<\/p>\n<p>The eleven tracks, recorded to tape by Kelley Stoltz in his backyard studio and mixed and mastered by Mikey Young (Total Control),\u00a0are first and foremost documents of the four-piece&#8217;s live performance of the tunes. Many of the songs were road-tested, but &#8211; unlike the prior records &#8211; a few of them were not. This opened the door for some new looks: an acoustic guitar, some synth, upright piano, a little pedal steel wizardry from Tom Heyman, etc. It&#8217;s Cool Ghouls doing what they&#8217;ve always done, but in more ways and better.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"imgCaptionAnchor\" href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001DkOGluGNoIc9zCfAgT8YPgdlNPNCj33G77lg6bGfXJNiTtoePHxyYxfJ6JsBhb1NweymPSLzfnEw2pEibxob_WkS_FXz4b23emWC4Eur-XdFOGDgrUM-7O5Yq11gjQKCvr4DC20kqK6vLUIg4o5Ioo0XxrPsx1PNdCZgoh9n5fpjMNDsCdVU83tqFl3f9MlpTdLVmEIVjN7t0oFuiUPkOngUUyDyTYK0w-c6OxOgETUxZ1MrqJPhRA==&amp;c=tdixaWI3OMl5q33mhQABm7HWS_oslEjXXzRkLRpCIiaiTVuWAsGNLw==&amp;ch=I8sHgcHiQMZM5MKSe6p4m0930sZKq_LKyd2VOEcnPLoGVV_2vJzu2g==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\" shape=\"rect\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"cc-image-resize alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.ctctcdn.com\/fad5d549001\/fe2f26c2-786f-4c64-b960-1be23978c0e4.jpg?resize=359%2C359\" alt=\"Cool Ghouls Animal Races\" width=\"359\" height=\"359\" name=\"ACCOUNT.IMAGE.3353\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>Track list:<\/h5>\n<p>1.
