Ghost Carriage Phantoms

I’m not quite sure what to make of the weird, sparse, lo-fi pop of Ghost Carriage Phantoms, but I like it. With shades of London electro-soul band The One, and perhaps a splicing of White Town and TV On The Radio, it’s an odd, discordant and DIY-sounding recording, but with hooks and charm… the album, “The Boy Lives”, is out now on Marketstall Records.
