Is there no end to the number of bands containing the word ghost? Hot on the heels of Manchester rapscallions Ghost Outfit and the Mercury Prize nominated Ghostpoet come electro dancemeisters Holy Ghost!
The New York duo sound like they've been working the ouija board to summons the spirits of the first wave of British electro pop of the early 1980s. Their self titled debut, issued by DFA records earlier this year, could pass as a Mute Records compilation album. Blancmange? Tick, Depeche Mode? Tick. Fad Gadget? Well maybe not. They also pay homage to the masters of dead pan electro pop The Pet Shop Boys. If they decide to remake Pretty In Pink then Holy Ghost has already written the soundtrack.
That's three ghost related artists in less than a week. The search goes on.
