As the days grow shorter and we're frequently heading back to a certain dimly lit, now sometimes foggy, cul-de-sac to play with new sounds, we're pretty happy with the echoes and reactions to our video and free download of "Unhypnotized", the first track off our upcoming album. In the three weeks since its release it has had way over 3000 youtube hits plus blog and press action from LA to NY and even a bit of Europe. Just a few choice quotes:
"Unhypnotized' features lovely female/male vocal interchange over a film-noir-inspired riff. Ironically,the whole thing’s pretty hypnotic." That was Billy Gil on the Amoeba Music Blog, which also premiered the video.
"'Unhypnotized' is a delirious cocktail of woozy guitar, boy/girl vocals and haunting echo. United Ghosts are working on a full-length, and like the white-clad party-goers in the video, maybe everybody will snap out of it in time to pay attention.”says long time UG supporter Kevin Bronson on the essential BuzzBands.la blog. Indeed.
"Set in an LA warehouse with a cultish crowd, radiant hues and majestic sound, it is definitely worth a view". That one came all the way from Texas via Red River Noise, Austin.
"..in a just world, Unhypnotized would have definite hit-potential" says German dream-pop blog Coast Is Clear! Danke!
The list goes on. Check out the bottom of this post for a full set of links.
Meanwhile final touches are being applied to the album, with mastering almost completed and art on the way from London via designer and filmmaker Paul Kelly who handled our 7' sleeve so beautifully.
An LA show with Nightmare Air has just been confirmed for Dec 12th, probably our last of the year, and we are plotting a path up the West Coast and quite possibly all the way to London for the early part of '13. Stay tuned, cadets!
