Ginger And The Ghost arrived in 2012 with early support from Triple J in Australia for their debut single ‘Where Wolf’ and global tastemakers embraced their alternative pop artistry. 

The partnership of Missy and Daniel, two mixed media visual artists who make up Ginger and The Ghost was created through a desire to do something for themselves, on their own terms. Hiding away in a converted water tank in the Australian bush, the duo were able to find the freedom to create. 

In March 2013, Ginger And The Ghost generated a huge buzz from their successful North American tour, including six SXSW shows, CMW, four in New York and ending the tour with a sold out San Francisco show supporting Poolside. Topping of this tour their single ‘One Type Of Dark’ reached No. 1 on the Hypem chart, which has hit over half a million plays.

A national Australian tour for their One Type Of Dark EP followed in July, sending key Australian media such as Groupie magazine into a frenzy over their incredible self made costuming and avant garde live set design. Their latest single ‘The Mark Of Hearts’ recently drew the praises of global tastemakers such as Nylon Magazine and more.

Performing at Bigsound in September 2013, the band returned to the US in October for a string of blistering sets at New York’s CMJ Convention. In 2014 Ginger And The Ghost will be gracing the UK for the first time with showcases at the Great Escape in May. In March 2014 Ginger And The Ghost will launch their next EP – Call Up The Whales in conjunction with a national EP Tour.

Victory and defeat. The darkness and the light….. This is Ginger And The Ghost.

Call Up The Whales

"For the Boy Who Moved Away" is from EDJ's forthcoming self-titled debut.

Out 8/5/2014 through Easy Sound Recording Company (www.easysound.co)

Of the new record, Eric says:

In January of 2014 I decided to sit down and write an album’s worth of songs all over the course of a few weeks, which is something I had never done before.

Some were done at home during an unseasonably cold Portland winter, some in Boonville, California (a town in the wine-and-weed producing part of Mendocino County where they also have their own language,’Boontling’), and some in Joshua Tree, a place where people have always sought inspiration.

It had always taken a long time for me to write songs – and when one would finally come to me I’d put some broad concepts down on paper, find a nice melody, and then let the listener decide what they might be hearing.

Well, these new songs all mean something, from my life and from my brain. Even the lines that may be somewhat enigmatic or metaphorical sounding to you directly correlate to my life, and maybe yours, too.

The puzzle of existence on “Minor Miracles.” Rebuilding a life in “West County Girl” and “Lose It All, All the Time.” A quite literal story in “For The Boy Who Moved Away” about moving away from L.A. to an uncertain future, the San Gabriel Mountains engulfed in flames in our rearview.

And that’s to name but a few.

These are not the “happy” songs that I’ve come to be associated with – no fully major chords, and lots of suspended chords and major sevenths to make things kind of emotionally ambiguous. There was no stylistic dogma in making this record, and I was ready to fold in every type of music I was into at the moment – Joni Mitchell, new age, early 80′s McCartney, Another Green World, film scores, Talk Talk, British folk, and modern stuff that’s got me excited.

I had a bunch of my favorite people come and join me on this. Sam Cohen, Brian Kantor, and Josh Kaufman (all of Yellowbirds and a million other bands) made up the backbone of the band in the early part of the tracking. And then there were appearances by people from all the different chapters of my musical life – Andy Cabic from Vetiver and Tim Rutili from Califone dropped by to add stuff. James Mercer from The Shins sang some gorgeous high harmonies, and Nathan Larson of Shudder to Think (also my sometime film score collaborator) laid down some drone-y guitar vibes. And of course Thom Monahan, my usual studio co-conspirator, was there to make everything
come together.

These are simple stories, some about losses, a few about disappointment and regret, but also of hope and perseverance. I hope you like these melancholy grooves and existential make-out songs. These all mean something to me, I hope they will to you, too.

EDJ - For The Boy Who Moved Away

2nd single from the upcoming My Heart the Brave debut album out in the autumn of 2016. 

BUILD ME ANOTHER NIGHT
SHOW ME ANOTHER MINE TO CRAWL INTO 
ONE THAT LEADS PAST THE STAIN OF LIGHT
WHERE EVERY MINUTE TAKES A DAY OR TWO
AND MY BLOOD IS NEW
BLACK EYES IN THE WATER TELL ME WHAT TO DO
YOU ALL COME FOR CLUES - I'M ON TO YOU
YOU'RE A BROTHER WHO AM I

DRAW ME ANOTHER SKY
DRAW ME ANOTHER LINE TO FALL INTO
PULL ME UP LIKE A SATELLITE
TILL CLOUDS ARE UNDER ME AND OVER YOU
WHEN IT BURNS LIKE YOUTH
EVERY MAN'S AN ENEMY A GOD OR FOOL
AND THEIR WORDS ARE FUEL - I'M ON TO YOU
YOU'RE FIRE SO AM I
