Ghostown!

Ghostown! (feat. Tenderlonious)

Having just released his latest solo album Paper Can’t Wrap Fire to critical acclaim, Don Glori treats listeners to a special new version of album track ‘Song for Ants’. A more stripped-back, ethereal take on the original, this alternate version was born out of being on tour and the limitations it brought with it.

Whereas the original is a spiritual journey of energetic intricacy, full and fierce, Don’s new version dials things back into dreamscape territory. The pace slows, the phrases have more space to breathe, as the synergy between keys, bass, drums and horn erupts into a cosmic-fuelled saxophone whirlwind. 

In Don’s own words “This version of ‘Song for Ants’ was born from being on the road and not being able to have two horns in the touring lineup. I love the melody of ‘Song for Ants’ and wanted to include it in my live set, so I wrote this new version around the melody. It has a bit of a rock edge to it, so I leant into that. It was definitely inspired by acts that can sit in that jazz crossover space like The Necks, BADBADNOTGOOD, GODTET, Kamasi, and Nala Sinephro - all artists that I think are terrific at taking you on a journey.

The first time we played it out was last year in Norway, followed by London Jazz Festival and then I took it around Australia on my last tour back home. Seeing the reaction that it was pulling out of the crowd (as well as myself), I knew I had to quickly get in the studio and lay it down. I remember it was the 10th of January, and we had an impromptu show at Kindred Bandroom that evening, plus a festival set at Loch Hart festival the next afternoon (three hours away on the Great Ocean Road), with rehearsal scheduled for the morning of the 10th. So, I decided to can the rehearsal and go for the studio instead. It was the right decision, we got a great take of this track as well as a few new songs for the next record.”
