Review of Time is Gravity

karl — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 11:17:44 +0000

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.

Two new records! New store!

Check out our brand new online store at store.ghostghost.net to hear our two brand new records: the long awaited second EP, Of Innocence and Experience (with a beautiful watercolor album cover by Charlie Kemmerer), and the came-out-of-nowhere full length album No Clothes on Ragged Island (written in one day and recorded in one week). You can listen to any of our albums on the store site, download them in any format you like, and even read the lyrics and liner notes. Our first pressing of vinyl is happening today, so we are also taking pre-orders of the limited edition colored vinyl at the store!

No Clothes on Ragged Island

Happy birthday Edna St. Vincent Millay, we made you an album: http://bit.ly/ghostghostrpm . The album title is No Clothes on Ragged Island, and each of the ten songs is inspired by a scene from the poet’s life. The songs were written by Kevin and Karl, five songs each, in about 24 hours as part of the RPM Challenge. These are the rough demo recordings made yesterday. A more finished version is in the works, and due by the end of the week–no, seriously, we have to turn them in on March 1. Complete lyrics and chords for all songs are also online at http://bit.ly/ckIsLk .

First look at our record cover

Charlie Kemmerer completed the ink for the cover of our new record, Of Innocence and Experience, coming out in March. Take a look at it, before he hits it with watercolor, at www.ofinnocenceandexperience.com .

“Kate” pre-release

karl — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 13:11:12 +0000

On Monday, we go to the mastering house to complete our new EP, Of Innocence and Experience. We’re so close to being finished that we thought we might pre-release another track from the EP. This one’s called “Kate,” and you can get it at http://bit.ly/8OJM8K . Download, pass around, keep the party going. We hope you love it.

“Will You Be True?” pre-release

karl — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 12:22:57 +0000

Download the pre-release of “Will You Be True?” free on Last.fm here. This is one of our new songs from Of Innocence and Experience, our brand new EP coming out soon. If you haven’t heard it yet, go forth, download it, give it to your friends, generally enjoy it and be awesome.

In the studio

karl — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:04:55 +0000

We’ve been a little quieter than usual, and here’s why: Ghost Ghost is currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on our second EP, coming at you this September. This time around, we did the recording ourselves in our Lower East Side practice space. Expect some stylistic twists and turns into areas we haven’t explored as a band yet, such as: Guns N’ Roses circa 1990; an unexplainable TV on the Radio influence; and “Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Kemmerer.”

We’ll be back on stage and in the lights this September with a record release party, a gallery show with Charlie Kemmerer at the Tompkins Square New York Public Library, and a host of other engagements designed to make you shake what your mama gave you.

Knocks From the Underground

karl — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 01:35:42 +0000

Music blog Knocks From the Underground reviewed our EP and had a lot of nice things to say. In fact, they had nothing but nice things to say, such as this little gem: “the trio deftly swings between styles and somehow manages to own each one.” Awesome to the max.
