Sometimes you realise you've been writing about bands for years, and it slowly dawns on you that you might actually be the only one. A quick search on The Hype Machine shows that's not really true, but despite the fact that they've been around for a few years now, I don't think I've ever heard anything you might describe as buzz surrounding That Ghost. Unless I am completely wrong about that, which is entirely possible, it seems a little odd, if you ask me. They do lo-fi, they write pop songs, and these two things are [...]

It's been a while since I've heard anything from That Ghost so I was interested to hear the latest EP. The EP is titled after his grandmother who died at a young age to cancer. He'd never met her but he had this photograph of her and it left him romanticizing her life, wondering what she was like. As a result, the songs sound heavy and haunted - hinting of a nostalgia for a past he himself never experienced. Heavy reverb and layered vocals make it sound all the more weathered and old. That [...]

Lo-Fi artist Ryan Thomas Schmale, otherwise known as his stage name That Ghost , released an EP in about a week ago entitled Rosalind , named after his grandmother (whom I have to imagine is pictured in the photo above). This track, "Morning Now" is catching some ears and I figured the readers of MTIB would dig it. It's chill, a little John Lennon-esque. Check it out. Morning Now | Support The Artist Word, Kev

(c) Anna Kohlweis Why she is no longer mostly a bird we don’t know, but as Squalloscope Anna Kohlweis sounds graver, less cheerful than as Paper Bird. Nonetheless birds and other metaphors of freedom remain an important part of not only her blazer in the picture above, but also of her new album Soft Invasions, out on Seayou on March 16 ( listen to the album in its entirety ). Squalloscope is our second ever submission to the free monthly, worldwide Music Alliance Pact compilation. Right-click on the song title [...]
