We aim for musical transcendence through lovingly crafted and detailed compositions that remain accessable, intriguing and inspiring. The love and energy of our multimedia live performance is an addiction. The greatest compliment we ever received was that someone was inspired by our album to start creating music of their own.

The symphony of life is in understanding the unity of everything, from the rocks and trees, to the relationships amongst humans and animals. Music is a gift by which we may reconnect with our higher spiritual aspect.

If one can introduce a sound or "thought form" at the most subtle level of thought, right at the junction point of pure consciousness and matter where the initial vibrations of creation begin to unfold, then that though form will manifest.

  • I love this music.
    author: Jehnean Day Dawn Washington

    I just got the cd and I am loving it. Everyone should get the cd. This group is incredibly talented.

  • Sojourn to 1969
    author: oneoldcrowbone

    Ghost Of Monkshood present a pleasant review of earlier musical psychedelic references - pre Parsons produced Pink Floyd, early Peter Gabriel era Genesis - and even a Revolution 9 - particularly apparent; along with some interesting contemporary touchmarks on Spider Through the Fog. Nothing remarkably original, not to say that there aren't a few rather decent tracks - but there is too much filler here that could stand some editing. On the whole, STtF genially fits into a cycle of amiable psychedelic listening.

  • Refreshing CD
    author: Robert Flynn

    I got this Cd on a whim and it is mad sweet. I can't believe these guys aren't famous. there is so much junk out there. I looked on their web-site and saw that they only play in their home town...or around it. I wish I lived in Oklahoma. (I think that is where they said they were from.) I wish we had bands liek that in Albany, New York. We just have the wackest stuff...Great job guys. Thanks for the sounds. It gives me hope that pshyadellic stuff is out there that is enjoyable to listen too. Looking forward to your next release...

  • The sweet and the sinister
    author: Brian Howe, Pitchfork Media

    Spider Through the Fog immediately immerses you in a rich drone ricocheting between the right and left channels, establishing the limits of the echo chamber the album will ramify within. For the duration, Ghost of Monkshood enliven pillowy analog static and acoustic guitars with flower-child vocals and flickers of vivid detail: There's the weirdly rickety guitar solo on "I Take It"; the ghost of G-funk whistling through "Traces of the Cave"; the gnarled cassette-tape-suicide on "Goddess Hand"; the sudden funk capping "In the Night"; the busted music box on "Capsized". The sweet and the sinister get equal time on Spider Through the Fog, often becoming so blurred as to be indistinguishable, and its to Ghost of Monkshood's credit that the album still comes off as an affable, pleasant surprise, not an endurance test.

  • atmospheric swell and surge
    author: Preston Jones, Oklahoma Gazette

    Perhaps one of the most refreshing aspects of local music is the fact that there is no ceiling; ambition, properly channeled, can create works of staggering complexity and shame the output of major-label recording acts. "Spider Through the Fog," the fourth record from local quintet Ghost of Monkshood, is one such album-- from the wavering Elliott Smith-esque vocals to the atmospheric swell and surge of the instrumentation, these 17 tracks (including the epic closer, "Touch") teem with emotion.

  • A soundtrack for dreamers
    author: Adam Scott, Norman Transcript

    "A soundtrack for dreamers" is the best way I can put it. Local quintet Ghost of Monkshood's latest effort (availible at Guestroom Records) is like a week's worth of dreams set to music. capturing not only stretches of active, fairly lucid, well-defined events and images but also interspersals of reactive, drifting, phantom chaos. There's no point on the album that loses its chimeric, peaceful-yet-shifting quality. Heavy vocal tremolo in "The Childrem Have Power" may turn off some, but stick with it and be rewarded.
