Educating myself in the truly riveting sounds of Ian F Svenonius, I find myself once again a few years behind with what is a very well established artist!
Chicago-born and now Washington D.C-based, Ian F Svenonius has performed in various bands over the years including Nation of Ulysses, The Make-UP, Weird War, XYZ, Escape-ism and (his current post-punk/rock project) Chain and The Gang. Between his many bands, Svenonius has released more than 19 full-length albums and more than 20 singles, EP’s and splits, not to mention being a published author and talk show host too!!
With current band, Chain and The Gang the group have recently released their sixth album, Experimental Music which was recorded live in the studio with six-piece lineup consisting of Fred Thomas and Amber Fellows of Saturday Looks Good to Me, Danny Kroha of the Gories and Danny & the Darleans, and Shelley Salant of Tyvek.
Don’t Scare The Ghost Away is one of my favourite tracks so far on what sounds like an exceptional offering from Chain and The Gang. Marry Jonathan Richman with a bit of King Khan, throw in some classic garage-rock guitar and a dash of post-punk and what you have is the very captivating sounds of Chain and The Gang! Raise a hair and bow to the sensational and spooktacular powers of Don’t Scare The Ghost Away..Listen above and purchase your copy of Experimental Music from here.
