Sketches and Spells

Verberation int.

The Focus Group is the work of Ghost Box co-founder Julian House, whose work as a graphic designer has graced sleeve art by Broadcast, Stereolab, Oasis, Primal Scream, Can and many others. House’s music reflects his collaged design work, it’s a woven together from fragments of electronics, heavily processed samples and exotic instrumentation. It’s an uncanny and atmospheric sound that invokes memories of British psychedelia, Italian Horror movies and eastern European animation. As well as LPs for Ghost Box Records, The Focus Group have collaborated with Broadcast on several projects for Warp records.
