The Hungry Ghost
Description: The songs of The Hungry Ghost peek into the mystery of everyday existence and evoke bizarre, unfathomable situations that seem strangely familiar. Music critics have compared him to other artists known for a sense of brooding and darker edge ("imagine Lou Reed produced by Tricky", says one reviewer).

On his new CD, a bizarre blend of goth/darkwave, folk, trip-hop, and traditional eastern instruments, the ghost (aka singer-songwriter Blake Chen) pays homage to horror/sci-fi/fantasy movies and comic books. The songs are grounded in reality while taking us on an imaginative journey through our innermost fears and desires...
