Originally released in 2001, The Ghost Of Fashion stands as a landmark album in Clem Snide's catalog — a record that balances cynicism and genuine wonder with remarkable grace. Frontman Eef Barzelay weaves personal memories and pop culture into something wholly unique, blending hushed laments, bouncy rave-ups, and witty shuffles alongside soulful horns and subtle strings. It's a record that rewards careful listening, revealing new layers with every spin.
Now back in print after more than a decade, this reissue of The Ghost Of Fashion on Dot Matrix Recordings is a treat for longtime fans and newcomers alike. The release features covers of songs by The Lemonheads, Carole King, Neutral Milk Hotel, and Tom Waits, and is spread across two LPs — cut by mastering legend Kevin Gray — for an expansive sonic experience. A gatefold jacket packed with new liner notes from Jim Allen in conversation with Eef Barzelay himself makes this a truly thoughtful reissue.
