For just two years now, Holy Ghost! release greatest songs and remixes. Singles such as “Hold On” and “I Will Come Back” and the EP released last summer, “Static On The Wire” could inspire not only music fans and critics but also colleagues such as MGMT, Moby and Phoenix .
Finally the long awaited debut album from the New York duo is to be imminent. On the world wide web they already give us the promising album track “Do It Again” and on her current tour in Germany they introduce their album live in advance.
The album is simply called as the band itself and will appear on april 29th on her New York based label DFA. Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser began initially as studio musicians for Juan MacLean and formed her own project somewhere along the way.
Their sound is danceable electropop with strong 80s bonds, which has much to do more with their common interest in stone-age synthesizers, as produce with the idea of retro music for eternal nostalgia. On the contrary, their songs seem fresh as a daisy and contemporary, and what we can expect is an exciting and fresh album full of danceable, electronic, synth-disco songs, including quotations and with highest pop-appeal.
