Ginger and the Ghost

I first heard of Ginger And The Ghost when I saw them live at sxsw this year. And my love for them has grown significantly from the moment Ginger went on stage to captivating the audience with her voice and ethereal costumes and then grew when I started listening to her tracks, watching her videos, oh and then came the remixes. The glorious, glorious remixes.

One Type Of Dark:

Is there just one type of dark?

looking through the telescope Im looking back at me

Wondering what type of girl I’m supposed to be

I’m the one that dreams in color

Ginger and the Ghost: One Type of Dark

Cheers Elephant – Doin’ It Right

wherever it takes me…

Et Musique Pour Tous posted about them a few weeks back and i loved it at first sight/listen.

Cheers Elephant is a quartet from Philly – they look and sound like what I imagine my pops and his friends to listen to in the 70′s sitting around in their puma track suits with some beers on their way to play basketball so naturally I’m in love with this album. They recently released ‘Like Wind Blows Fire’ – 10 tracks for $10. A few shows this month and next in Philly.

Stand out tracks: Peoples; Doin It Right; Leaves; Little Dog.

Bear Mountain: XO

‘electro’ ‘dance’ ‘synth’ – three of our favorite words.

Bronze Whale Remixes your SUMMER

I L O V E S U M M E R I L O V E T H E H E A T I L O V E H A L F D R E S S E D W O M E N B Y T H E B E A C H

when we were sent this earlier today, we casually, unknowingly, pressed play to check it out. What happened next is a bit curious -  our mood turned drastically and instantaneously. Our instincts were to: violently toss our desk chair across the room.  throw our coffee in someones face (not to hurt them, just to prove a point) and strip away the sweater (its f-ng cold in London, yea!?) and dance on the office table in our underwear.

still searching high and low for you summer jam!? ugh yea here it is–

Honey Claws – I Love Summer (Bronze Whale Remix) by Bronze Whale

And then this happened (!?!?!?!?!?!!?) a remix of our favorite YL – naturally, we are going to embark on that musical journey SKEPTICAL but its pure sunshine daydreams:
