Ghost and More Ghosts

Kit darlings 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝑰𝒔 𝒀𝒆𝒔 (Dax Niesten and Sander van der Toorn) return with a particle scattering follow-up to their celebrated, self-titled debut.



While the Dutch duo's serenely motorik guitar, levitational synths and airy vocals are still present, '𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒔' sees the pair take a sideways step into the nether realm - tugging gamelan metallophones, organs and vocoders with them through the fermented portal as they disintegrate completely.



A melancholy magic trick occurs when these atoms regroup to poke fun at melodic techno ('Ghost Four'), disembodied R'n'B ('Ghost Six') and distilled pop ('Ghost Three'). These are marvellously disorienting sonic paintings - dappled, stringy, globs of sound that tilt the aspect from familiar forms to flaring, untold landscapes.
