The actual facts

So far 2010 has been packed to the brim for Producer, DJ, ex Program Director of bNet outpost RDU in Christchurch. We say ex PD at RDU as he’s just left to ply his trade in Auckland.

Releasing album number 3 in NZ, giving up smoking, a baby, 2 singles with radio rotation, interviews on lots of NZ Radio including Kiwi FM, George FM, Base FM and bFM, confirmed upcoming DJ slot for Big Day Out 2011, DJ support for Public Enemy, reviews and features in Rip It Up, Real Groove, NZ Musician, DJ spots up and down NZ, and now re-located to Auckland, Ghost hasn't sat on his arse since arriving from London 2 years ago.

New single 'Orion' is the 3rd single from the 3rd album, “Postcards from the Edge”. The single is backed with a new video, (Ghost's 4th official video) and 2 new exclusive tracks. Ghost, along with help from Border Music, released the album via his own label Musicforheads. Utilizing his website and bandcamp page, Ghost took to the internet and social networking sites to spread the word and music. Over 12,000 views on the website, 30,000 on the bandcamp page, more than 100,000 views on Ghost's previous 3 video's, not bad eh.

The journey then, continues... The music itself is a woozy, sugar coated neon synth affair, epic almost. What is 'Wonky' music? This is it..

The video is more short film than music video, the music and pictures fit together like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Ren and Stimpy, Home and Away and Alf Stewart, you get the idea. Directed by Eugene Thomas from Cinematista, they created a bleak yet ultimately heartwarming tale shot early mornings in London. With some pretty cool special effects, stylistic filming, editing and camerawork, this should get plaudits not only because of how it looks, but for making something different from the perpetual tits and ass and generic club video's that plague our music TV screens.

To make this EP complete, we're offering the EP for a name your price download. So you'll get 4 free tracks, a video, and, as an added bonus, anyone who buys a copy of the “Postcards from the Edge” album on CD or digital download from the bandcamp site, will get a free download of Ghost's 2nd album, limited to 200 downloads, first come first served. Please help us by blogging the video, tweeting, face booking, the whole 9 yards!
