Daylight Ghosts are an indie/electro/dark-folk group from Meanjin/Brisbane, Australia.  The band was formed by musician/composer Karl O'Shea out of a desire to explore a style of songwriting outside of his usual prog/metal background. After a lengthy search for a like minded collaborator, Karl found a kindred spirit in singer/songwriter Adam Dawe and the core of the group was formed.  

Daylight Ghosts’ mission statement has always been as follows - folk songs filtered through shifting combinations of indie, goth, post-punk and electronic music styles. In simple terms - two moody metalheads creating folk music with their own idiosyncratic spin. The duo's love of intimate, torchlit music is combined with their "heavier" sensibilities to create a sound that is both delicate and melancholic with an atmospheric, cinematic flair.

After experiencing a few false starts thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, 2020 & 2021 saw the band perform a small run of shows and release 4 singles to much acclaim. The first half of 2022 will see the group release a new single accompanied with their first music video and the release of their debut album Urban Umbra on March 25th.

For fans of - Chelsea Wolfe, The Cure, Mark Lanegan, The National, Swans, The Go Betweens, Scott Walker, Bloc Party, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
