Single of the Day: Ghost Wave “Blues Signal ’79” (2015)

New Zealand band Ghost Wave are getting ready to release a new album, Radio Norfolk, via Flying Nun and have perked interest with the project’s first single “Blues Signal ’79”, presenting with a heavily psychedelic sound.

“Everybody’s missing the countdown to the meltdown” is the refrain here, crafting a hook that fits in perfectly with the overall sound, a trippy, ominous, and contemplative balance of melody and rhythm, helped along by clashes of keys, organs, and percussion.
