"Your love is like the Holy Ghost!"

Location: Brooklyn, NY

Bio: Holy Ghost! consists of two individuals, Nicholas Millhiser and Alexander Frankel. Both grew up a few blocks from each other in New York City ...

Shortly after signing to Capitol Records in 2000, they teamed up with DFA founders Tim Goldsworthy and James Murphy to handle production duties on Automato's debut. After recording with Tim and James, Alex and Nick began lending their skills to various DFA productions, including remixes and as touring and recording members of The Juan Maclean. All the while, Nick and Alex began working towards their own record. Holy Ghost! is a product of their obsessions with analog synthesizers, rare disco, and ancient production techniques. It is a co-production with DFA and a real family affair. The first single is "Hold On," a thumping disco trot that recalls a smoother and more mysterious time. Accompanying the title track is an instrumental version and a rhythmic French disco remix by Blackjoy AKA Jerome Caron. (less)
