Of Ghosts And Other Forms
Приєднався 10 вер 2020
Of Ghosts and Other Forms tell their story of staying connected in times of isolation.
Their sound melds electronic and organic sounds - putting flutes through vocoders, layering operatic vocals, and looping emotive four-part harmonies. There is a beautiful musicality in this electronic disassembly.
They accidentally became a band, meeting through the East London warehouse scene and gigs in Birmingham, where they played together at after-parties and jam sessions. Initially only an experiment, the combination of sounds and styles worked a little too well, and in January 2020 they began writing songs, unaware that the world was about to pull them apart.
Inspired by a collective love of Bonobo, Kiasmos, and Bicep - they build textural soundscapes punctuated by musings of resilience, and the tangled beauty tied up in lost love. They gently celebrate openness and acceptance of people in all their different shapes and forms.

Of Ghosts & Other Forms - Ashes (Official)
open.spotify.com/track/2G7h3xezoPn8qGxR0K8unf?si=823b41535b1343c5
Ashes sketches a metaphorical take on being queer. Of always having to bend to fit societal norms. Of the exhaustion of always having to perform, of always having to adapt.
Performed by Jordan Revell, directed and co-produced by Alex Podger (Dark Mofo), with cinematographer Ben Cotgrove (Torch Song, Two Weeks), with costumes styled by London Fashion Week’s grungy upcycler Chloe Baines, and co-produced by the band's Benjamin Yellowitz - Ashes is a collaboration of queer artists.
