Album Description"Ghost of the Russian Empire are shoegazing indie rock that has the pop elements of Radiohead and My Morning Jacket but the jangled fuzzy guitars of My Bloody Valentine. Brilliantly recorded and delivered." -- Smother.net Ghost of the Russian Empire was created in late 2004 in the frigid tundra of central Texas. Its members are dedicated to bringing voice to the suspicions and astonishments of past, present, and future worlds. Pulling themes from the historical, political, and science fiction realms, the band attempts to transport its ideas through engaging and intricate songs. The Mammoth was recorded with producer Erik Wofford (The Black Angels, Voxtrot, Explosions in the Sky) at Cacophony Studios in Austin. The band currently plays shows in and around Austin, and is eager to tour in support of its second release.
