EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Former Ghosts - Mother

Former Ghosts offer a particularly cool adaptation of ’80s-born DNA, a remixture of the elegant Gothicisms that defined the early years of labels like 4AD, Mute and Factory: spectral, electronic, haunted and haunting. “Mother” is from Fleurs, the debut album from the dark-star trio of Freddy Ruppert (This Song Is a Mess but So Am I), Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu) and Nika Roza (Zola Jesus), and it’s got so much restrained emotion that the air around it seems to quiver. Fleurs comes out October 20 but the band’s tour starts tonight in Phoenix (full dates after the break). The bad news is that Roza won’t be on this tour due to her studies, as she explains here. The good news is that Freddy and Jamie will.
