DFA records never ceases to amaze me with the arsenal of artists they carry around in their quiver. Newly signed duo Holy Ghost! hail from Brooklyn (New fuckinYork!) and while I haven't heard a definitive word on when their first LP will be released, it's holding electronic listeners in sheer anticipation. Their first single "Hold On" has found its way into my rotation both personally and in live sets for its extremely catchy vocal hooks and its 80s-synth melodic progression. HG! are releasing remixes left and right as well. Vice records recently handed over the original tracks from the Panthers' "Goblin City" to allow the Holy Ghost! to edit and effect the shit out of it into one hell of an epic remix. How epic? Let's just say it's nine minutes of eighties-movie montage bliss with an intro that makes it hard not burst out into flash dance-like moves (or maybe this is more like what I mean). Keep an ear open for both these groups, Holy Ghost! is certain to get plenty of time in at various music festivals this summer.
Now go take communion:
Holy Ghost! - Hold On
Panthers - Goblin City (Holy Ghost! disco dub)
