Ghost Feet

Ghost Feet don't tread as lightly as their name might imply, but they do skip across subgenre boundaries with the ectoplasmic ease of something truly spectral. Theirs is richly textured electronic music, with resounding, chiming melodies and cascading bittersweet synth lines slipping and sliding around an ultra-dense carbon core of snare-happy, Boards of Canada-style beatwork. Wonkier bleeps and bloops - along with interjections of cut-up vocal samples - operate at their own figurative stratum entirely. Their stuff takes its cues from enough unique, notable ‘tronic talents (some Prefuse 73 here, maybe a little Lymbyc Systym there) that it feels fresh and original, and not too indebted to any one of its inspirations. They're well-matched on this bill by Sea of Oaks, Stepkid and the jazzy shoegazers in No Clouds.
