Insufficient Funds is a weekly post in which we feature a free, or very close to it, piece of media that you can enjoy without overdrafting your bank account. So if you're low on funds, stay tuned to Cerebral Pop every Friday morning.
I don't know a lot about Paul Cary, but apparently he used to be the front-man of a band called The Horrors, which doesn't help me much because there seem to be multiple bands with that name. Either way, Paul has struck out on his own and has delivered a really amazing solo CD that you can download for free.
Ghost of a Man has a lo-fi garage band sound straight out of the early years of rock and roll, with some twinges of blues thrown in. Of all the music I've heard in the lo-fi resurgence, this is certainly some of the best. The guitar is thick and distorted, the drums quick and sharp, and Cary's raspy voice carries over top of it all perfectly.
And from what I can tell from the handful of times I've listened to it, the lyrics are amazingly clever and biting. Definitely something I'm going to be learning and singing along to as I listen more. Why not join me?
You can download Paul Cary's Ghost of a Man right here.
And apparently you can download his band, The Horrors, self-titled CD here. I haven't listened to it yet, but if his solo work is any indication, it should be awesome.
