They have a  long affinity with song writing, composition and melody; defined by their process of crafting powerful electronic music from behind a piano. 2020 presented a year like no other in modern memory, leading GHEIST to produce an EP that is unlike any of their recent output with the aim of providing an honest interpretation of their artistic expression. Through the\u00a0\u2018acoustic \u2013 unusual\u2019\u00a0EP on their own RADAU imprint, the band proudly present their personal and vulnerable acoustic versions of their own music to the world.

Their \u2018acoustic \u2013 unusual\u2019 EP, opens the door to this process and forms a connection to the audience, that have been starved of their sound for what seems an eternity. \u00a0\u00a0<br><br><em>\u201cIt\u2019s times like these that lead us to slowing down and gaining a new perspective.<\/em><br><br><em>Our acoustic EP reflects on that very fragile and intense moment of change, creating an intimacy that allows you to dive in and get lost in your very own cinematic mind\u201d\u00a0<\/em>\u2013\u00a0GHEIST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reverse engineering their existing catalogue, GHEIST have transformed tracks\u00a0<em>Salvation<\/em>, <em>Closest Ever<\/em>, <em>Venere<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Unusual<\/em> into acoustic masterpieces. The full EP presents a juxtapose in their style and reveals their emotional approach to music creation, further solidifying their position as a Hybrid-Live Act and band. Through the use of strings and piano, <em>Salvation<\/em> is reimagined in a dark, emotive and powerful style that shifts the main focus to the melancholic vocals. This theme is continued on <em>Closest Ever<\/em> and <em>Unusual<\/em>, the latter infusing folk-style tones. Finally, EP track <em>Venere<\/em> shines as a bright and positive note.\u00a0Sharing this project with the world, GHEIST look to reconnect with their audience, presenting the EP as an honest reflection of their feelings and most intimate moments during the last 12 months. Via the \u2018acoustic \u2013 unusual\u2019 EP, they invite you into their world to share their lyrics, melodies and emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9ACE4273-66AB-498D-AD33-E969662E797C.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"670\" height=\"670\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9ACE4273-66AB-498D-AD33-E969662E797C.png?resize=670%2C670\" alt=\"GHEIST acoustic - unusual EP cover artwork \" class=\"wp-image-35649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9ACE4273-66AB-498D-AD33-E969662E797C.png?w=670 670w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9ACE4273-66AB-498D-AD33-E969662E797C.png?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/9ACE4273-66AB-498D-AD33-E969662E797C.png?resize=150%2C150 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018unusual \u2013 acoustic\u2019\u00a0EP track list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Salvation<\/li><li>Closest Ever<\/li><li>Venere<\/li><li>Unusual<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>GHEIST\u2019s \u2018unusual \u2013 acoustic\u2019 EP is out now via GHEIST\u2019s RADAU Imprint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Berlin based trio\u00a0GHEIST\u00a0have released \u2018acoustic \u2013 unusual\u2019 EP.
