Smoothers and Shakers

For those fridgejuicers that loom over the plenti-packed Brisbane scene, a delightful treat hits Barsoma's shores this Friday featuring none other than overseas American juggernaughts  — Holy Ghost! We haven't really gone into depth about Holy Ghost! here before, its rather been kept as something similar to well preserved sweet candy; like nougat, but rest assured, we'll give up our sweet toothed virginity to fill in the gaps in your musical cavities.

For a catch-up or rather, a nostalgic visit back to the past with Holy Ghost, we've included their two-part-two-disc mixtape featured on DFA earlier this winter. There's a lot of expect before you hit the DL, including sounds from In Flagranti, Phoenix, DJ Mehdi, Cut Copy, Van She and even the meshed sounds of the smooth skulled Moby. It doesn't come served without an amalgamated fist of full of remixed mayhem however. This one's also been rephased if you happened to nab the earlier released cassette version.

Next in line of our scrumcious confectionary is the mysterious maiden voyage of  Flight Facilities with nu-disco collab — Captain Earnest Bon-Huffington, Madame Francois de Lundenkopf, Esquire Winston Humphries III and Fred. We've been listening since their remix of Lowbrows 'Dream In The Desert' which induced an epic eight minute coma and further glued to our speakers with the super creamy 'Crave You' (if you don't think you have heard it, you have). Since landing, the crew has signed on their euro-synths, hypnotic basslines and occasional cowbell to Australian label - Bang Gang. We've included some of their tracks in case you were living under a rock while they flew overhead.

The ghosts have alternatively released their 'Static on the Wire' EP which concocts a very danceable slice of their synthetic disco pop funk whose velvety, silky and rather legitimate chorus will be sure to keep your skull busy for a day or two. Crisp low down-down bongo drums as well as a sexy story like guitar solo blur the lines between where the static on the wire finish or ends, so feel free to jump rope this one for hours on end. We promise you won’t get sick of it - ever.

It’s become a well known artefact the Brooklyn boys are the remix masters and quick visit to the Holy Ghost blog reveals an array of psychedelic sounds and other cheeky shenanigans. They've had a busy year on road hip-swaying and finger snapping with LCD Soundsystem and zig-zagging across their home turf with Chromeo, but thanks to those gentlemen chaps at Lick It, we get to jump on audible express to hear the porn and make the happy ending that is Holy Ghost! 

Whether you know neither of the two success stories, one over the other, or both - you need to listen very carefully from here on out...
