Ghost mechanic Nine is the ninth Studio album by Inca babies, it comprises 9 tracks. The incas are back with a powerful new collection of tunes taking their listeners back to a sound that is rawer and spikier, and reminiscent of their early days in the 80s.

‘Ghost Mechanic 9’, is the title track and second single, it is a surging highway groove, that drives us on with a rumbling bass line into the night. Driving for the sake of it driving to escape. Headlights in the dark: red and blue dash lights; wondering why anyone but you is driving this late. The ghost on the highway, the grease-ball mechanic who says you’ll keep going for miles and miles. It’s number 9, the ninth Inca’s album the first of nine songs on the album.

The rush of energy from the first track sets the tone for the rest of the Album which continues their explosive exploration of Goth punk and death rock jazz/blues.

Singer and Guitarist Harry Stafford has written an album that explores the essence of the 80s deathrock vibe, with a tribute to the strong riffing and cool, deadpan delivery of the dark wave scene at the time.

Aided again by the wise head of Simon ‘Ding’ Archer (The Fall, PJ Harvey) as Producer at 6Db Studios, in Salford the power and depth of sound this time around is a truly wonderful thing. ‘Insect Symphony’ is a Stooges lead riff tribute to all those bands that are no longer with us.

‘Spacewalk’: is the first single from the Album and is a rockabilly Sci-fi laser beam about the wonders of the Space age. From Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 to the mega cities of Blade Runner and the fact that when I was a kid, in the far-off future, 2024 was supposed to be a silver suited, hover car space age with a completely automated world on the moon. Clearly this was rubbish so instead it’s time to reintroduce Rockabilly to the world’s consciousness.

The inclusion of a longer and remixed version of fan’s favourite ‘Opium Den’ now called ‘Opium Dub’ is a masterful example of the sonic dexterity of Simon ‘Ding’ Archer at the dub controls.
