Band Launches National Tour with RAC & The Sounds + Plays the Firefly Festival ~ Debut Full-Length LP, Blonde, Out March 4 via Nettwerk Records
Brooklyn-based duo Ghost Beach will release their debut album, Blonde, on March 4 via Nettwerk Records. Perfecting their unique blend of retro & futuristic soaring synth pop, the band previously shared party-starting album cut “On My Side,” featured on People Magazine, plus “Every Time We Touch,” a funk-infused blazer, strapped with an infectious bassline & classic house beats.
VICE’s Noisey just unleashed another unmistakable Ghost Beach hit in the form of Blonde album cut “Without You.” Showcasing their love for influences Ace of Base & UB40, the track features a full-on reggae vibe complemented perfectly by the duo’s distinctive, cutting-edge contemporary touch. Check out “Without You” HERE!
“Ghost Beach are the Venn diagram of their influences—Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads, The Police, and Daft Punk—and then some, thanks to a shitload of synths, some nostalgic 80s sonics and even the occasional reggae groove. The sound is unmistakably their own.” ~ VICE’s Noisey
“If you can get people dancing as early as noon. You’re good. They did.” ~ NPR’s “All Songs Considered”
“…a radiant and catchy cut fit for a tropical island dance party.” ~ Consequence of Sound
Ghost Beach, consisting of Josh Ocean & Eric “Doc” Mendelsohn, has set the Internet ablaze with upbeat anthems, a preference for ’80s synth, and consistent number ones on Hype Machine. The band has performed alongside The 1975, ASTR, Betty Who & St. Lucia. They have just announced a Firefly Festival appearance and national tour dates supporting RAC & The Sounds, teaming up to command dance floors across the continent!
