„BEN VIDAS Homerecording-Projekt BIRD SHOW liefert uns mit "Lightning Ghost" den nächsten leuchtenden Stern am Kranky-Firmament. Mit brummenden Hintergrund Basslinien, Klangholz Schellen-Glockenspiel-Perkussion, geloopten hypnotisch, psychedelischen Vokalbrocken, elektronischem Flirren und dumpfen Beats vermag die Summe der einzelnen Teile sich so in rhythmisch, ätherische Höhen zu steigern. Der meditative Aspekt von "Lightning Ghost" lässt sich aus der deutlich wahrnehmaren Beschäftigung VIDAS mit diversen traditionellen Musikstilen herleiten. Aufgebrochen wird diese Ethnoästhetik in den Momenten, in denen VIDA diese Elemente in fiependem Noiselärm ertränkt.
Lightning Ghost is the second Bird Show album, following the debut release Green Inferno. It centers around Ben Vida's home-fi sound experiments. Tracks are carved out of opiate'd chanting, disjunctive drum circles, synth meditation and prepared piano trance song. Vida's sonic explorations are embedded into tighter song structures, with a greater role given to vocals in the mix. The ceremonial air has been retained and expanded with a strong percussive presence and repeated, mesmerizing musical figures. Vida recorded the album at home, but much of the material resulted from the hours spent on stage this past year." [press release]
