lbum Title: Dust Of The Human Shape Artist: Ghost Atlas Genres: Alternative Rock

Jesse Cash, guitarist and vocalist of the band Erra, presented the new album of his solo project Ghost Atlas. The third full-length album was named "Dust of the Human Shape" and appeared on January 26, 2024. The tracklist included 12 tracks in total.

The song “Lesser Gods” leads the charge from the record and is now streaming below. Cash said of it:

“My goal when starting the instrumental for ‘Lesser Gods‘ was to commit to a singular chord progression and maintain it throughout the entire song. I play with this idea on a few songs on the record. It just keeps your ear very locked into the vibe while challenging me to find other creative ways to introduce dynamic.

In the case of this song, the most notable means is the time signature change in the bridge, when the rhythm progression switches to 7 beats per bar. It’s a little bit of trick I’m playing on the ear to bring some technicality and tension into the song. While the timing changes, the chord progression remains exactly the same to alleviate the change feeling forceful or distracting.”
