With any kind of move, one has to inventory past experiences, laying some to rest and saving others as experiential knowledge. When the principle mind behind Heathers , Michael Avishay, left Portland after college to move to his native LA, he left behind his most popular and personal music project to date, Ghost Animal. And so Heathers began, first as an idea–based on the belief that uncomplicated melodies retain the most meaning and are accessible to everyone. With their first official track“Teenage Clothes,” the harmonies ebb and flow and the early-Slumberland and Sarah Records adoration is beautifully-apparent. Yet nothing is passe about [...]
Yung Life - Hiding Girl Honestly, this album just won’t quite. Releases just keep coming and coming, and I’m so glad, because it is honestly one of the best albums of the year for me. Such crazy nostalgia oozing newness. Anthemic choruses, synths so old and new you are simultaneously launched into the past and future. Chill Mega Chill proudly released this bad boy on beautiful purple cassette back in August. Yung Life also just finished a string of CMJ [...]
The Impermanent 73 is the debut recording from WL , which features members of Blouse and Houndstooth . Death Party Records (home to Surf Club , Prescription Pills , and Yung Life ; run by Michael Avishay of Ghost Animal ) put out this 73 earlier this Summer. The WL sound has been described as "SHOEGAZE DROWNED IN A SEA FLOWERS." I'd say that's pretty apt. This right here is the B-Side. Listen. Downloadable: No Escape (mp3) [...]

GHOST ANIMAL, GRAVE BABIES, NIGHTMARE FORTRESS, ASSS ( East End , 203 SE Grand) Last year, Ghost Animal was featured in the Pacific Northwest edition of an online video series sponsored by JanSport (of backpack fame) called Practice Space , which showcases hip bands in their alleged elements. Ghost Animal's segment was filmed (by Lance Bangs!)Â in their studio at Reed College, with Marisa Rowland and Michael Avishay discussing the literary and sonic influences of their fledgling efforts. They strike me as an interesting choice to represent the PNW, not yet having released an album, but [...]

Ghost Animal - Dreaming of Love & Death pt 1 Michael Avishay, one half of this noise/artrawk duo w Marissa Rowland , hit me on twttr late yesterday evening asking me if I could do a rush premiere for him, and while I’d normally be pfffft, this song fucking rules.

Look for more in the coming months, keep [...]

I am here to apologize for slightly detracting from your concert experience all year long. Why? I take photos at shows. I know it can be annoying.
