Holy Ghost | Preorder on iTunes | PHOTOS

James Murphy’s DFA Records (home of The Rapture, Hot Chip, Yacht, and more) have been releasing some of the most cutting edge music of our generation. Holy Ghost is no exception. This style, to me, is the future. Bringing in all aspects of what makes electronic music so great, but maintaining all the live elements of the classic “rock band” image. It’s quite a spectacle in concert. Drums everywhere. Pianos. Guitars. A wall of analog synths and keyboards.

The guys are finally set to release the followup to their self-titled album on September 10. Dubbed Dynamics, I’m sure we can expect to see a more refined and maturely evolved version of their debut. You’ll find two mighty fine examples below. ‘Dumb Disco Ideas,’ a funky treat, leaked a few weeks back and it showcases the band’s energetic and playful side (check the cowbell). While ‘Okay’ illustrates the emotion harbored behind their sounds. Seems like it has a ton of live concert value towards the end as well. Peep the tracklist and more songs after the jump.
