GHOSTLY INTERNATIONAL + SPECTRAL

Thanks to Ghostly International founder and avant-pop curator Sam Valenti IV, I've got some goodies to share with you from upcoming releases on Ghostly & Spectral in the coming year.










First off, a name familiar by most, Matthew Dear, originator of Hands Up For Detroit, will be releasing his newest album Asa Breed Black Edition set for its US release on March 11th. With The Guardian calling this album "an extraordinary, impeccable album of avant pop" and what Philip Sherburne calling it 2007's "most unexpected pop masterpiece", its simply not an album to be passed up. Check out the video for "Don and Sherri".
