This week's Best New Releases is interesting in that there is no release from an A-list 'indie' artist, if you will, but instead an eclectic gaggle of mostly new and relatively unknown artists, like That Ghost, Davila 666, Papercuts, Dum Dum Girls, DeVotchka, Raised by Tigers, and many others. Perhaps the biggest new release is [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
After catching lead single "To Like You" a few months back, I was thrilled to hear That Ghost's second full length, hoping it would mostly consist of the sedated Peter Hayes vibe that "To Like You" offered. Released March 1st on twosyllable records, Songs Out Here isn't exactly what I was anticipating, but the hushed collection of faint folk tracks is an alluring set. Ryan Thomas Schmale, who's been cranking out That Ghost tunes since 2008, hasn't sounded this focused in his young but prodigious career. Highlights: "To [...]

Never let it be said that Ryan Thomas Schmale isn’t a generous fellow. Not only has he given us two songs from his album, ‘Songs Out Here’, but he’s also streaming the whole thing over at twosyllable records . From what we’ve heard so far it sounds a bit vintage 50s and 60s influenced pop with a lo-fi flavour. Like a under produced Jay Jay Pistolet, or a muffled She and Him, without the She. Listen to the tracks here: 'To Like You' ; 'Calls'

Tomorrow (3.1.11) will see the fifth album from 21-year-old Ryan Thomas Schmale 's project, That Ghost . You'll remember the lonely wandering tune "To Like You" from a Friday Five many moons back. That Ghost “To Like You” from Songs Out Here Here's another from the new LP. Still ambling. More wintery and wanting. Partially recorded in the estate of fellow Valley of The Moon resident, Jack London . If you've ever been there, this really reflects the feel of the place. [...]
That Ghost - To Like You When I first heard this, it caught me off guard, in a good way. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a band called That Ghost. Was it gonna be witch house? Was it gonna be a terrible Kings of Leon sound-alike? Well luckly it was none of these. Instead it was delightfuly awesome. It’s as if young Ryan Schmale took a cloud of hazy goodness and applied it right to the audio tracks. I also really dig this style of singing where there seems to be this glide [...]
Ryan Schmale handles all of the instrumental duties himself, which makes this NorCal native’s sound even more interesting.

Last year at Noise Pop festival here in San Francisco, it was my first time getting exposed to Santa Rosa's That Ghost . That Ghost is Ryan Schmale who wrote and recorded Songs Out Here his 5th album, 4th under the Two Syllables label. Hear a couple new tracks below and pre-order the album here To Like You Calls
Три года назад, в 2008-м, восемнадцатилет ний музыкант Ryan Schmale открыл каталог лейбла Two Syllables (Intets, Candy Claws, Holiday Shores) домашней записью «Young Friday». Говорят, это был его пятый или шестой альбом. Такие фразы, как «If I ever had control of my life, than it’s gone tonight» из песни с названием «When there’s no one else to sing to you sing to yourself» выдавали в нём нового Конора Оберста, делающего в подвале первые попытки написать ещё одну честную песню. Чтобы проникнуть в суть его новой работы «Songs Out Here», пришлось послушать её несколько раз. Эти песни не требуют внимания [...]
Daily Doses: That Ghost “Calls” From Songs Out Here (2011) “Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.” ~ Jack Kerouac Thank god this track from That Ghost crossed my plate through the fine folks over at Weekly Tape Deck before I went too far down that rabbit hole of beats and electronics to ever come back. “Calls”, the second single [...]
You know how I just can't get enough of the ghost bands? Well here is another one, and like most "ghost bands" That Ghost are pretty good. So far, I have only listened to a couple of mp3 tracks off their upcoming album Sounds Out Here, but if there was a better way of displaying a "thumbs up" than just typing it, I would have. Does anybody know of a better way of doing that? I would really like to know. Are emoticons the answer? I hope not. Songs Out [...]
"Calls" Sonoma County, California's That Ghost is the slow burning, lo-fi music of 20-year-old Ryan Schmale who has previously recorded four albums already. We've had the pleasure of listening to the entirety of his forthcoming fifth full-length Songs Out Here and can tell you that it's an album with intriguing arrangements from a songwriter with loads of ability and inherent passion. These songs find Schmale writing on a very personal note, with themes ranging from solitude to nostalgia. Despite its gloomy approach, the album is warm-sounding, inviting, and completely enjoyable. [...]
Earlier that day, not knowing who Nicole Atkins was, I listened to two songs on YouTube. On record, she has a strong, beautiful, and towering voice. I would probably like it to Stacy Dupree, the lead singer of Eisley, every bit as pretty and powerful, but just a tad lower and a little more soulful. [...]

That Ghost To Like You So…I’ma just come out and say it. I’m a cougar. A young cougar, but a cougar none-the-less. Whew! Now that I got that skeleton out of my closet, I don’t feel as creepy saying I am totally crushin’ on this lil’ lo-fi baby boo extraordinaire. Ryan if you read this, I’ll be in the Bay in March…. In the closely knit scene of Santa Rosa, CA, where nearly every local band shares the stage on a monthly [...]
