Cath Carroll – The Gondoliers of Ghost Lake
Written and produced with collaborator Kerry Kelekovich, the 14 songs on The Gondoliers of Ghost Lake were cut by Cath Carroll in her adopted home town of Chicago between January and July 2002.
Stand-out tracks include The Divine Miss A (Morrissey meets the Kinks in tribute to a transgendered Mancunian), Free (post 60s mystical rock), Man Goes Down the Highway (rarified folk-dub, on the same continuum as Luscious Jackson and Pulsillama) and the infectious Mystified (romping dance-pop with a Latin underpin).
