Buy one, get five free – new single from My Sad Captains
Ghost Song is the new single from My Sad Captains, taken from their acclaimed debut Here & Elsewhere (“A melodic indie-pop classic in the making” – Rough Trade Album Club), and is accompanied by 5 extra tracks – for free. Shimmering samples, clattering drums, sweet harmonies, and bursts of banjo and piano embellish Ed Wallis’ subtle and heartwarming song, which echoes the off-kilter pop of Sparklehorse .The b-sides are home recordings of some of the many songs the band failed to get finished in time for inclusion on the album. But these new songs stand up in their own right and fit together neatly as a bedroom-pop collection: a distorted ghost of how the album might have sounded.
Says Ed about Ghost Song: “I wrote this song after I saw a ghost. I don't believe in ghosts but I saw one anyway. So it’s about an element of doublethink - the ability to hold two contradictory beliefs simultaneously."
