Old Music Time

Formed by erstwhile Simian front man Simon Lord and former Wiseguy Theo Keating, The Black Ghosts have been steadily establishing their unique vision of black hearted beats and eldritch tales with a series of superlative club cuts and their lauded ‘Mixtape’ compilation which recently gained high praise from all quarters, including Compilation of the Month accolades in Mixmag and DJ Magazine. Now with the advent of their eponymous debut artist album on July 7th the pair are about to reveal the underbelly of their ethereal electronic soul. Built from the foundations of their pointedly pure dance floor approach, the Black Ghosts add in a host of new elements with Simon’s disquieting lyrical narrative coating Theo’s Machiavellian pop progressions, creating a set that slips effortlessly between visceral electro noir and psychotic torch songs.

Accompanied by a series of bespoke films, one for each track of the album and a some truly striking artwork that evokes the very spirit of The Black Ghosts, Simon Lord and Theo Keating’s debut outing is an all-consuming affirmation of their ghetto-gothic aesthetic.
