Dirty Ghosts

In the three years since their acclaimed debut Metal Moon, Dirty Ghosts lead singer and guitarist Allyson Baker has stayed busy lending her talents to albums by !!!, Aesop Rock, Kelley Stoltz, doing several North american tours, Treasure Island Festival, Fun Fun Fun Fest, Sled Island and sharing stages with Thee Oh Sees, Diiv, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Peaches and more. Following up a live 7” released on Jack White's Third Man Records, Baker and crew hunkered down to record the second Dirty Ghosts album. With nods to the synth punk sounds of Devo, the angular tension of Wire and Gang of Four and the refined melodies of The Pretenders and XTC, the result is a lyrically deep and musically frenetic sound. August of 2015 saw their return with the "Cataract" EP on Burger Records which featured remixes from Tobacco and Mikey Young of Total Control as their third music video with acclaimed director, Adult Swim's Derrick Beckles (Hot Package, Eric Andre Show). October through December they hit the road for a full US tour with the release of their sophmore album "Let It Pretend" on Last Gang Records and followed that up with a 5 week European tour with Sup Pop/Castleface Records' Kelley Stoltz. 2016 brings a new 7" from Converse x Amoeba and the release of their second single.
