Ghosts of Television
Sydney, Australia
After seeing Ghosts of Television way back in June last year I emailed the band to grab some tracks so I could write a post. There was a quick response back saying they'd mail the demo/EP as soon as they were finished and then I heard nothing. Months went by, the new year approached and just as their name sake suggests, they'd seemingly vanished. But that wasn't the case. They'd been spooking a truck factory out in western Sydney where they were busy working on their first polished demo recorded by Burke Reid of Gerling fame and Dappled Cities keyboardist, Ned Cooke.
The results are impressive. Spooky, lofi electro especially for those times when you feel like trapping people in your basement and feeding them to Scarbrough, the man bear pig who lives on the other side of the mirror. To sum it up from the band itself: 'Ghosts of Television is 5 young boys making hypnotic, accusatory music for frightened angry people. Their music is party music for subterranean prisons and bedtime music for rabid insomniacs.'
Here are a couple of tracks. I'm quite a fan of Cash which features a dreary monologue that is surely putting bad thoughts into my head.
