Echoing-Berlin-Wendy-Carlos-De peche-retro-goth-Souxsie-white -noise-Ian-Curtis-new-wave-rob o-sadness ...I could go on and on with stream of consciousness superlatives to describe the Oct. 20th release of the Former Ghosts album Fleurs . Echoing junkyard percussion jangles underneath straightforward beats, while muffled sometimes wailing vocals harmonize like swaying corpses over droning synths chords the likes of which haven't been used this effectively since the soundtrack to The Shining . Like an indie version of a big budget super-group, Freddy Ruppert, Nika Roza and Jamie Stewart (from This Song Is A Mess But So Am I , Zola Jesus , and Xiu [...]
Some of y'all were like "hey, EAR FARM, where done gone 'dem Free Music Friday MP3s from last week?!"

In addition, we've got a bit [...]
Gleich von zwei Projekten, die nach Soloanfängen mittlerweile zu vollwertigen Noisepop-Supergroups angewachsen sind, gibt es dieser Tage erfreuliche Neuigkeiten. Zunächst wären da Former Ghosts mit Freddie Ruppert (This Song Is A Mess But So Am I), Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu) und Nika Danilova (Zola Jesus), deren Debüt Fleurs wird am 06.11. auf Upset! The Rhythm erscheinen. Zwei Songs davon gibt es schon mal zum Download, angesichts der beteiligten Stimmen ist das Ergebnis so intensiv wie man es erwartet hätte: [MP3] Former Ghosts - Hold On [MP3] [...]

Former Ghosts have been creating some buzz throughout the LA area, and it looks like they're starting to catch on everywhere else as well. Former Ghosts consists of Freddy Rupert (This Song Is A Mess But So Am I), Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu), and Nika Roza of Zola Jesus. Their debut album, Fleurs is coming out October 20th on the British label, Upset the Rhythm . Former Ghosts will also be touring around the United States (they'll also be playing The Smell this Saturday), so check them out on tour. Download the catchy first single, "Hold On", [...]
The set starts with a diminutive twentysomething, dressed crisply in a black pullover and white button-down, sitting in a chair with his head slightly bowed. Newcomers probably don't know what to expect, but Nhat fans can bank on a saucy, effervescent performance. They are not let down. Anywhere Michael Nhat plays is a party, and Friday night, in the echoey back room of The Smell with an audience of about fifteen, is no exception.
post-party Upset the Rhythm is the independent London label that's always taken good care of Los Angeles—they were one of the labels participating in that first burst of No Age vinyl in 2007 and also put out releases for L.A. bands like Soft Boiled Eggies and BARR and now Foot Village, who will be releasing their [...]
[If you can get your noses out of your taxes for a moment, raise a glass today for birthday girl Loretta Lynn ...] Another Coachella warm-up show hits the Glass House in Pomona — tonight it's TV on the Radio , joined by Ikey Owens and Free Moral Agents . ... Kimya Dawson , whose latest post-Moldy Peaches album "Alphabutt" came out in September, plays the Troubadour. ... At Spaceland, it's wryly over-the-top Australian rocker Andy Clockwise . ... Disco recyclers the Polyamorous Affair , [...]
Οι Former Ghosts είναι το νέο project του κυρίου Freddy Ruppert , τον οποίο ίσως θυμάστε από τους This Song Is A Mess But So Am I . Οι TIAMBSAI δεν υπάρχουν πια οπότε ο Freddy φώναξε τον φίλο του Jamie Stewart και την Nika Roza , τραγουδίστρια των Zola Jesus [ελπίζω να μη χρειάζεται να αναφέρω σε ποιο συγκρότημα είναι τραγουδιστής ο jamie..] με σκοπό να ηχοραφήσουν μερικά tracks και ότι ήθελε προκύψει.. Προέκυψαν λοιπόν οι Former Ghosts και ένα άλμπουμ που λογικά θα κυκλοφορήσει -αρκετά- αργότερα μέσα στη χρονιά. [...]
