Why do we like this?

I'm extremely excited to see two "new-ish" tracks from experimental synth-pop project Former Ghosts, featuring Prague-based artist Freddy Ruppert and Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart.

The track is labeled sadcore on SoundCloud, and it for sure sounds like it. Three lines stretched across two minutes, classic fare from the industrial/experimental artists. Choppy synths along reverberating vocals sound straight out of a 50's movie gone wrong. I'm of the opinon that Freddy's probably got the most unique voice haunting the Internet, and I'm sure it won't take the whole track to convince you the same.

If you enjoyed this and want to know more about Former Ghosts, check out label Upset the Rhythm's website. Let's hope for more tracks like this on the way soon.
