The Black Ghosts

The Black Ghosts from the UK just dropped their self titled debut album this month, which is a welcome addition to the electronic music genre with the likes of The Presets, Cut Copy and Crystal Castles.  Formed in 2006, Theo Keating and Simon Lord had previously been in the bands The Wiseguys and Simian, respectively. The two met each other over the Internet and had only physically met after they had worked on a significant amount of material together. The guys describe their music as "perverse, personal pop,   a tendency that has its roots in both of the members early childhood. Keating was encouraged by his mother to watch horror movies at a young age; Lord's grandmother was considered psychic.

Here are a couple of the best tracks of this stunning debut: 

  The Black Ghosts - Anyway You Choose To Give It 
  The Black Ghosts - Until It Comes Again
