I'm Hag is the debut Ghost Box album for Berlin based Sebastian Counts' ToiToiToi, following on from his single for the label's Other Voices series in 2015. It's very detailed and lovingly produced music, crafted from electronic, synth, sampled and acoustic sources. It's a wunderkammer of an album crammed with original ideas. All at once managing to be witty, spooky, melodic and abstract. The music and design explores the polarities of folklore vs modernity, and wilderness vs civilization. It's an album about German culture but it pre-empts a nostalgia for the vanishing concept of internationalism, once exemplified by town twinning. It's also a warm-hearted record, hopefully a tiny morale booster against Europe's resurgent spectres. As always the beautiful CD and LP packaging is designed by Julian House. The 180gm LP includes a free download card.
