Ghost Music’s ‘Blindspot’ Feels Like A Slow Motion Film

Glacial indie pop for those charmed by Galaxie 500...

Ghost Music are approaching their debut album, yet the band have – in a variety of guises – been making music together for more than 20 years.

Matt Randall and Lee Hall were members of late 90s Peel favourites Beatglider, with Randall more recently releasing three highly praised albums under the Plantman moniker.

Rejoining with Roy Thirlwall on bass and Leighton Jennings on drums, the band take their cue from Galaxie 500's drifting dream pop, from the amateurish auteur pop of The Pastels.

Debut album 'I Was Hoping You'd Pass By Here' arrives on January 19th, and it fuses a very English melancholia with the detached observational sense of Pavement.

New track 'Blindspot' feels like a slow motion film, the gentle introspection of the lyrics allied to some gorgeous, and incredibly simple, music.

Tune in now.

'I Was Hoping You'd Pass by Here' will be released on January 19th.
