“Make room on your 2010 top ten list”

karl — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:12:11 +0000

The new music blog Bandsoup just wrote a stunning review of No Clothes on Ragged Island. Aside from putting us in the context of several classic rock bands too daunting to mention, they wrote “Full of beautiful folk arrangements, haunting vocals, and picturesque poetics, No Clothes on Ragged Island is this year’s best kept secret.” Also, “Make room on your 2010 top ten list, it’s almost frightening what Ghost Ghost has accomplished.” Thanks, Bandsoup, we like you too.

Ghost Ghost has been selected to showcase in the CMJ Music Marathon in October! It’s a big deal! We will probably bake a cake! Details to come! Thanks!

Ghost Ghost in NY Press

karl — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 20:03:45 +0000

New York Press had some great things to say about us in their new profile on Ghost Ghost. The article highlights No Clothes on Ragged Island, calling it “fresh, enthusiastic and a credit to how passionately the band approached the challenge of portraying Millay’s life.”

We can’t help it if the thump of Tim’s bass drum knocks over drinks, and we can’t help it if we start every conversation with a Kurt Vonnegut reference. That’s just the way we do things. But thanks, New York Press, your next drink is on us.

Millay and Ghost Ghost in the news

Rural Intelligence just ran an article about Millay, mentioning our record No Clothes on Ragged Island. It also mentions that we are set to perform the album at Millay’s home at the Millay Society’s opening gala, though that show is postponed until October.

Review of Time is Gravity

We recently discovered another glowing review of our first EP from Knocks from the Underground, comparing us to a band of warriors in a Super Nintendo game, saying “These guys are a spectacular combination of artists,” and generally making us feel warm all over. Give it a read. Time is Gravity is available at the Ghost Ghost store, and everywhere else.

“Natalie Merchant, Ghost Ghost: setting poems to music”

karl — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:34:13 +0000

Turns out we’re the kids hanging at the library: School Library Journal just ran an article on No Clothes On Ragged Island, ten songs about the life of Edna St. Vincent Millay. We hope that our place on that page next to Natalie Merchant doesn’t violate Ms. Merchant’s restraining order against us. The article also gives props to our friends over at the RPM Challenge, which was the project that gave us the crazy idea to write ten songs in a day.

Gotta Groove Spotlight

karl — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 11:59:16 +0000

Gotta Groove Records just ran a feature on us! We got to talk about why we put out a vinyl record, and what makes our vinyl record different from most records out there. In particular, we mention a little fact about our record that makes it very special: each side of the record ends in a lock-groove. From the interview: “Those are loops with music in them that will hold the needle and keep the record playing indefinitely. We love that idea and the way it came out, because it represents something that actually can’t be done on a CD or MP3.” Read more at Wikipedia, under unusual types of gramophone records. Pick up your own copy of the vinyl for Of Innocence and Experience at our new store.

Skope Magazine feature

We’re featured in the latest issue of Skope Magazine as an “Artist 2 Watch!” Check it out on skopemag.com. Now that we’re an Artist 2 Watch, I’ve been humming “I Would Die 4 U” by Prince all afternoon.

Thank you!

We’d like to send a big thank you to everyone who came out last night to see Ghost Ghost and Charlie Kemmerer at Mercury Lounge. We’d also like to thank NY Press for highlighting our show. And we’d like to thank everyone who supported us in 2009, our biggest, most decadent year yet. 2010 will be even more. More! Like “Twinkie Wiener Sandwich” more!

Lucid Culture Top 10

karl — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:38:57 +0000

The music blog Lucid Culture just dubbed “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” one of the Lucid Culture top ten songs of the week! They described the song as “Driving, percussive indie rock motoring along with a killer rhythm section and a dark lyrical sensibility – like early Wire but with more balls.”

Just wait until they see us live.
