about

Consciousness is still a young man's game.

"I love it... but are you sad?"
-KP

"Oh man. It’s great. You rock the fuck out. Seriously. Obviously, I love the title. Is that a symbolic homage to therapy? I wonder what Dr. Freud would say about that?? Love the line “caring is out of style” if only we could bring that back in style, maybe all the worlds problems would be solved. And “are you ready for my defense mechanisms” brilliant. Might be the most important relationship question ever asked?
Also, cool shirt, I ordered one. As always, beyond impressed with your talent and the bravery and magic of transmuting raw emotion into great art like this album. Keep on rocking man \m/"

Ghost in a Vacuum (EP)
by Baby Ghosts

Pure energy, catchy as hell, well crafted and tight harmonies. Their full length is also fantastic, but the explosive lo-fi production of this EP suits the music perfectly. muh
