Ghost Twin - "Here We Are in the Night"

It’s always interesting to hear what individuals involved in multiple aspects of the arts create when putting their talents into music. For filmmakers Karen and Jaimz Asmundson, their penchant for the dark, haunting, and cinematic is reflected in the name of their music project, Ghost Twin, and their new EP, Here We Are in the Night. The Winnipeg-based duo’s album consists of four original songs and four remixes. The EP can best be described as a mix of 80s new wave, industrial, and electronic with Baroque-style vocals. Another way to think of their music is Sarah Brightman fronting a band that sounds like a cross of early Depeche Mode, a touch of Joy Division, a dash of Phantogram, and a bit of CaveofswordS. Their vivid music is matched with their psychedelic filmmaking, as evidenced by their two videos below.

The EP comes out tomorrow. Limited, hand-numbered copies on CD and an even more exclusive number of VHS mixtapes are available on the duo’s Bandcamp site. The EP can also be ordered digitally as well on Bandcamp.

For those in the Winnipeg region, the duo will have an album release on Friday, April 10 at The Handsome Daughter. RSVP here.
