Product Description

The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (The GOASTT) give a guided tour of bold, shape-shifting sonic murals and evocative lyrical panoramas. With an infectious sense of adventure akin to Beck and Flaming Lips, and several years of touring under their belt, Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl have taken their creative and savvy approach to psychedelia to new extremes. The ambitious songs on MIDNIGHT SUN flow cleverly together with unexpected ease to tell a vivid and provocative story. Familiar yet compelling, visceral and vital, the record is at once a response to the bizarre world we've inherited and helped to create, and a refreshing escapist daydream that, if not hopeful, is keenly insightful. The GOASTT has given US a record that is poised to be a postmodern psychedelic classic, celebrating the unusual and the grandiose but fundamentally it just rocks hard and feels good.

Could be the best sleeper album since early R.E.M. or Big Star

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

Unbelievable. I don't think I've played one album through more times since "Murmur" by R.E.M. back in 1983. My first exposure to this group was as an opening act for Beck at Mud Island in Memphis in 2015. Didn't know who was opening, the show almost got rained out, and Sean Ono Lennon was a bit of a curiosity even though I'm a huge Beatles fan. Can you believe he's 40? The band performed OK and the crowd was appreciative...lights were on Sean practically the whole time (Charlotte mostly shrouded in darkness), and some would call Sean's stage gestures a bit self-congratulatory but they said the same thing about the Indigo Girls.

The crisper, more polished studio versions really come together well. The first 5 songs "Too Deep," "Xanadu," "Animals", "Johannesburg" and "Midnight Sun," are tent poles for their electric sound, with "Johannesburg" especially wearing well (if a Renoir summer painting could be set to music it'd be like that) "Devil You Know" and "Great Expectations" are in the same vein and get half-credit. The others are slower and quirky, reminiscent of XTC deep cuts, or the band's own earlier output. Thankfully they're good enough that you don't have to skip over them.

This album deserves much more exposure than it's getting. Maybe the band peaked too early publicity-wise while the sound was still evolving and needs a re-launch. They should be able to get on Saturday Night Live and play "Midnight Sun" in the first segment and "Animals" on the second, for example. Maybe U2 was able to beat it for 2014 with "Songs of Innocence," but it doesn't seem a fair comparison.

The GOASTT has got me

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2014

Verified Purchase

First stumbling onto this via NPR First Listen and ordering it immediately, I've been listening to it incessantly ever since, like I did 40 years ago (not to show my age!) when first discovering Pink Floyd (Meddle), the Doors (Strange Days), or Beatles (St. Peppers). Didn't first pay attention to who GOASTT is, but figured out who the talented duo are...then poked around--SXSW concert, older stuff. What can I say: I'm hooked, and as luck/kismet would have it, I was in DC the day they launced their US tour and caught them, chatting briefly with Charlotte, mentioning I'd alread bought tickets to see them in San Francisco.

Love this on vinyl: the old fashioned way: six tunes on the A side, my favorite being Xanadu, Midnight Sun and Johannesberg (Mark Ronson produced), another half dozen on the B side, including Victor Young's Golden Earring, Poor Paul Getty, and the Floyd-esque Moth to a Flame that rounds out the mix.

Bottom line: if not a masterpiece, this is at the very least a classic; time will tell. A blast from the past/flashback with a forward-leaning groove, this is a magnificent offering of lovingly crafted tunes from two remarkable individuals (with a little help from friends) who will need to muster their own inner resources to wrestle with whatever comes next, whether wild succes or humdrum response.

See them live if you possibly can and certainly support them however you can (hint, hint: buy this, on vinyl preferably.) There's plenty of good music out there and I do worry that this will fall through the cracks. So don't let it.

Journey Into Modern Melodic Psychedelia!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

Fell asleep on my couch after a few glasses of wine a couple of months ago. Awoke to this bizarre sound and an even more bizarre sight. GOASTT were performing on David Letterman and I had no idea who (or what) they were. I grabbed the TiVo and rewound the performance and watched it repeatedly trying to figure out who this band was (the avant guard performance art and throwback "hippie look" made me think of the clan in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre!). After doing a search on the band and learning that it was actually Sean Lennon's latest project intrigued me more. The next day I purchased every recording I could find. Midnight Sun was one of those albums that I fell in love with immediately. The first time I heard it, I had thoughts of early Pink Floyd blended with a hefty dose of Spiritualized. The lyrics throughout are at times hilarious ("do you believe the man on the TV telling you of images of Jesus in the oil from a grilled cheese" on the track "Animals") to downright disturbing ("they cut off his ear with a garden shear" from the track "Poor Paul Getty"). Midnight Sun is a "leader in the clubhouse" to make my end of year top 10 favorites for 2014!

Buy this album!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

This album for me represents a turning point in music...when everything is geared towards fake Hollywood bulls*** and pretentious " stars " doing their thing up there while us good little sheep pay WAY too much money to see them live, at a concert where they will surely be lip-synching anyway...we need Sean and Charlotte to step in and give us that much-needed dope-slap that says, " HEY...we have something to offer too " ...and guess what people?? it's actually good. Intelligent lyrics set to incredible stylings of unique music which carries each song wonderfully and beautifully.
This is one of the best " new " albums that i've bought in over 10 years...the other one is their " acoustic sessions " album...besides those, there has been nothing even remotely interesting to me.
for me, they represent a new light at the end of the musical tunnel, just when i had given up hope on the rest of it.
Excellent band!! Sean and Charlotte LITERALLY make beautiful music together.
I can't wait for the next album!

I like Sean and have brought his music for many years. My favorite album is still friendly fire. This album is definitely better bunch of songs with the animals track being my favorite. However what let's it down is I can't hear or make out much of any words he sings. It is over processed on his voice maybe because he feels insecure about his voice. He has said that he wished he could record it again after touring and living with the songs I'm guessing he would change some things. The live stuff on you tube is great.

...or as close as you can get. Heard a track on R6 and it stopped me in my tracks. I wasn't aware of the band but immediately thought "That sounds like The Beatles crossed with early Pink Floyd" which is not a bad mix.

I was interested to hear what Sean sounded like. I really like this album I think it proves Sean Lennon as a real artist , not just the son of a Beatle Even though he does sound like his farther. He in no way imitates him.
