Chong the Nomad – Ghosts in the Shower [audio]
The idea of musicians being a conduit for something bigger than themselves is nothing new. Art is often credited to a variety of supernatural beings such as deities or relatives from the past. Chong the Nomad touches on this idea with her new single “Ghosts in the Showerâ€. A duet of sorts, Ghosts in the Shower was born from a post-work haze encounter with a singing ghost in her bathroom. A cartoonishly buoyant yet simple pop lullaby GITS is reminiscent of a song internet-born collective Superorganism would create. But instead of eight members, this superorganism consists of Chong, a mic, some production software, and an overactive imagination. The simplicity of the lyrics are highlighted by a wonderfully distorted kick and some fiercely original sounding arpeggiated chimes. We now too believe in Ghosts.
