Documenta will release 'Love As A Ghost' as a digital download through Touch Sensitive Records on Friday 22nd July.

Originally appearing as the centrepiece of their 2015 album 'Drone Pop #1', the single version of 'Love As A Ghost' features additional inspiration and instrumentation from the tracks' producer, David Holmes.

Love As A Ghost's widescreen, spectral 7 minutes outlines a group enthralled with the endless possibilities of repetition, melody and rhythm; haunting the same sonic cathedrals as My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, and The Jesus and Mary Chain at their most ethereal.

Following a suggestion from Holmes, 'Love As A Ghost' is the first Documenta track to feature Roisin Stewart on lead vocals. Joe Greene (vocals, guitar) “knew it was her song as soon as I heard it. The sense of detachment yet feeling in her voice still gets me.”

“'Love As A Ghost' blows '60s girl-group Pop bubblegum as re-imagined by The Jesus & Mary Chain. An MBV see-sawing tremolo riff as drums suck backwards, their vacuum pulling everything with it. Like a goodbye replayed from memory, a retracing of steps. Trying to pinpoint where you went wrong.”
Rob Harris: testpressing.org

'Love As A Ghost' has gained airplay from 6Music's Jarvis Cocker and Gideon Coe alongside support from Tim Burgess (The Charlatans), A.R. Kane and more.

The release will be accompanied by select UK festival appearances and club shows:

Laverys Mister Toms, Belfast - 22nd July
Kendal Calling, Lake District - 28th - 31st July

Lyrisks:

In just one moment it makes it all worthwhile
A weightless silence
We see ourselves for what we are 
The light has held away a tighter breath that folds apart

A moment holds you
When sharper senses numb
To what is around us
The lives we've lived, held in our lungs
Released as one

How could we slip through the hands of fate
To follow those who found below
A breath that pulls a flame

A moment holds you
And pours your heart a glass
If you breathe it slowly
The moment grows to serve the whole

In just one moment
We share this space
And find that our bodies grace a lover's breath

The hum that deafens
Is firstly heard
Then felt to steal us from the world
It's sung to raise us 
From the ground
And lost to be our favourite sound

So Many Lies is the lead track from our forthcoming EP mkll (part 2), set for release on 7th April 2017.

So Many Lies stays central to the ideals and themes presented within mk2 (part 1); however, it takes to the fore principles of accountability where there has been a loss of control.

A personal frustration.

The track harnesses a counterbalance, where one can look at their own guilt by association or inaction in a situation.

Hiva Oa is: Stephen Houlihan, Christine Tubridy, Matthew Collings, Chris McCorry and Daithi McNabb

So Many Lies

Bygones will be gone.

You have not suffered for our rights.
We have suffered all this while, for your lies.

I strayed long enough to simulate life.

You stole it all in front of my eyes. 
I wasted enough for you to gather it all, for lies.

I waited my turn to fall in line.
Wherever you are, the other will hide.

For our lives.

mkII (part 2)
