Dead Astronauts
Ghosts (violet/black Galaxy)
Dead Astronauts, the enigmatic group comprising Jared Kyle and Slade Templeton, returns with their highly anticipated 4th studio album, 'Ghosts.' A haunting collection of 13 tracks, the album explores the profound notion that the remnants of our past persist within us. The idea that the things we leave behind are indelible imprints on our souls, persisting like ethereal specters that silently influence our present. Noteworthy is the inclusion of Florence Bullock from Glitbiter fame, who graces 'Ghosts' with a guest appearance. Bullock had previously collaborated on Dead Astronauts' 'Silhouettes' album, adding an extra layer of continuity and artistic cohesion to the band's body of work. Diversity is a hallmark of "Ghosts," as each song delves into distinct themes, drawing inspiration from various sources, including revenge flicks from the '70s and '80s and horror movies from the '90s. The result is an eclectic blend of darkwave, post-punk, synthwave, and new wave elements, creating a sonic landscape that reflects the band's expansive musical palette. 'Ghosts' is not just an album; it's a captivating exploration of the lingering echoes of the past and the diverse tapestry of influences that continue to shape Dead Astronauts' unique sound.
