Glass Ghost’s video for “Like A Diamond” pulls off something that not too many videos do nowadays, it demonstrates complementary intertextuality rather than practicing tangents and other forms of contemporary ADD. Arranged with awesome 80’s PSA-esque footage the empty space within the video parallels so well with the tune itself. Check it out.
“Like A Diamond” is on GG’s forthcoming debut LP, Idol Omen, via Western Vinyl. Mike and Eliot are currently on tour, peep the dates here.
Glass Ghost is a year old project out of Brooklyn with Eliot Krimsky (of Flying, plays keyboards and voice) and Mike Johnson (drums). It’s the magic of falsetto, emotionally evocative keyboard and a one man african drum group that initially caught my ear, but their interest in candid street photographs that kept me on the page long enough to begin bobbing my head. Shifting beats with repetitive harmonies are exactly what to look for, and the vocals really just make their tunes more ghostly and transparent – all qualities which ask the listener to draw more from what is heard. They’ll be playing December 1 at Glasslands with Ava Luna, The Wailing Wall and Kunal Gupta – a sweet show that should be checked out. Glass Ghost’s Physical EP is out now for $5, go here to find out how to get your hands on it.
