New Entry: Early Ghost Unveil New Single "Devil’s Got Me Now"

UK psych rock/folk band Early Ghost have unveiled their new psychedelic single "Devil's Got Me Now".

About the track, bandmember Mike O'Malley said: "When we started writing this song, I think half of us secretly wanted it to be a Stones 'Let It Bleed' outtake and the other half wanted it to be a Led Zeppelin III outtake. I like to think we met somewhere in the middle.

Lyrically the song details unshakeable issues with the idea of sleeping, bouts of paranoia and problems with the personal association that sleep equals death. This song is facing up to that a bit".

The single will be released on March 23, have a listen below.

Watch: The Vacant Lots Share New Video For "6 AM (Alan Vega Remix)"

Burlington, Vermont psych/rock duo The Vacant Lots (aka Jared Artaud and Brian MacFadyen) have shared the video for the Alan Vega remix of "6 AM".

The song is part of our current playlist and will be released as a 7'' single on March 16th. It is taken from the band's debut album 'Departure', released in June last year via Sonic Cathedral. Get the single here.

The video was directed by Stephanie Elizabeth Third , who explains: "Almost at random I began to make trippy, unsettling and dark imagery that I felt hinted at the themes of the song's lyrics: death and the chase. The footage is a mix of scenes filmed in my studio as well as found footage from old horror stock; I thought the hysteria from these snippets would add a bit of gallows humour to the piece."
