The Ghosts

Introduced by mutual friend, The Charlatans’ Jon Brookes, in December 2010, Palmer (drums) travelled from Birmingham to meet London-based keyboard-player turned Ghosts singer/songwriter Starling (formerly Ou Est Le Swimming Pool) at Euston Station. “We got coffee, discussed what we liked and didn’t like about music and used that as a starting point,” says Starling. “Ian is really into 80's synth pop and also bands like MGMT and Empire of the Sun, and I’m a big fan of TV On The Radio and bands that use synths in modern interesting ways, so it was kind of different stuff but there was definitely crossover. I played him a demo and he said he really liked it. He had a strong vision, he wanted to do a new project and I had just come to the end of one, and so we checked out a few studios together and then The Ghosts grew from there.” 來自英國的新軍，被MIXMAG評為：“相信會是你喜愛的下一個樂隊”。5個人相遇於倫敦，由主唱Alex Starling帶頭組建。主唱的嗓音有像點唱詩班的Liam Gallagher，有趣的比喻。有些地方確實神似早期的Liam Gallagher。The Ghosts將合成器、電子融入英倫搖滾中，流暢，摩登，時尚的氣息充滿着處女作《The End》。
