Manchester (UK)-based post-punk/deathrock mavericks Inca Babies present a video single for "Ghost Mechanic 9", the title track from their ninth studio album, Ghost Mechanic Nine. A driving blast of a guitar song, this is a powerful indication of the flavour of the overall album, the sound owing to the Incas' early music as frontman Harry Stafford revisits the raw guitar sounds of their early output.
Inca Babies new album, Ghost Mechanic Nine, will be released on 29 November via Black Lagoon Records and is recommended to fans of The Gun Club, Birthday Party, The Cramps, The Stooges, Killing Joke, and similar artists. This is a collection of darkly invigorating tunes. The album visits a similar place to where Inca Babies started in the 80s with their psychobilly trash rock, reconnecting with their roots, where The Gun Club and The Cramps met, the intersection where Inca Babies found their most passionate and loyal following. This song is a calling card for the album, taking listeners back to a sound that is raw, spiky and reminiscent of their early days in the 80s.
Harry Stafford comments: "This is a surging highway groove that drives us on into the night with a rumbling bass line. Driving for the sake of it; driving to escape. Headlights in the dark: red and blue dash lights; wondering why anyone but you is driving this late. The ghost on the highway, the grease-ball mechanic who says you’ll keep going for miles and miles. And all the numbers are the same. It’s number 9, the ninth album for Inca Babies and the first of nine songs on the album." Link
