Ghost Wave USA Shows - Culture Collide and CMJ

Ghost Wave USA Shows and Free Download

Having added percussionist Andy Frost to the line up, Auckland quintet Ghost Wave are off to America for the third time. Their political system may be at a standstill but the bands motorik rhythms will be sure to have audiences moving their feet. 

In preparation for these dates, the band has made available for download, their cover of The Buckingham’s song, “Kind of a Drag.” The track can be downloaded HERE.

Auckland’s Ghost Wave released their acclaimed debut full-length in late August in New Zealand on Arch Hill Recordings and the USA on Flying Nun Records.

With support from various places like Pitchfork (who premiered the advance stream of the record), KUTX (who selected their track “Bootlegs” as their “Song of the Day”), KCRW (who picked them as an “Artist You Should Know”) and KEXP (who added the band to their rotation) the buzz has continued to grow.

He's what the press has been saying about Ghost Wave.
“Somewhere between garage rock and the best sounds of ’60s British pop, Kiwi (by way of Auckland) outfit Ghost Wave bangs out jangly tunes made for good company.” – The Fader
“Led by singer/guitarist Matthew Paul, the quartet writes songs for a real summer’s summer, one of those idyllic ones you see in faded photos from the 60s with surfboards and oversized sunglasses.” – Pitchfork
“These days it’s no easy feat for a band to differentiate itself from the slough of other guitar-pop bands. You need songs and Ghost Wave has plenty.” – Paste
"Their debut full-length is easy and assured, an irresistible first listen that reveals newfound subtleties on repeat plays." – eMusic
