Music for Perfect People

Holy Ghost! are set to head out on their month-long tour of the US, but they aren’t leaving without dropping their latest single “Hold My Breath.” Included with the single are remixes from Tiger & Woods, Cosmic Kids, and Falty DL.

“In its original form, Holy Ghost!’s debut album cut “Hold My Breath” is, pure and simple, great dancefloor electronic pop; in the hands of shadowy duo Tiger & Woods, the song has been totally reshaped and refracted through ’80s R&B radio. Cosmic Kids have taken the track in a more tensely dramatic direction. Finally, there’s Falty DL’s re-envisioning, which goes down awfully smooth for a track so full of the big, thick, bumping bass beats. It’s an aural pleasure to find yourself dreamily lost in the Brooklyn, New York producer/DJ’s halls of reverberating sound. - Kali Holloway” [via]

Not only do Holy Ghost! make buttery Brooklyn disco, but they also seems to have decades of solid hairline to look forward to.  In their newest video, Alex & Nick tap out in favor of their actual fathers, who–after snagging some new duds on Karmaloop–sport uncanny resemblance to their respective sons.

Holy Ghost!’s self-titled debut album is out now on DFA.

The Northern bit, at least.  These are sandwiched between two Euro runs:

05-20 New York, NY – Terminal 5
05-21 New York, NY – Terminal 5
05-24 Montreal, Quebec – Metropolis
05-25 Toronto, Ontario – Koolhaus
05-26 Chicago, IL – Metro
05-29 Portland, OR – Roseland
05-30 George, WA – Sasquatch Festival
05-31 Vancouver, British Columbia – Malkin Bowl
06-03 San Francisco, CA – Fillmore
06-08 Austin, TV – Stubb’s
06-09 Dallas, TX – Palladium
06-11 Manchester, TN – Bonnaroo Festival

Bonnaroo might inching up (pun intended) in the Sexiest-Festival-of-2010 contest.  Speaking of sexy, Upper West Side dudes Holy Ghost! have the opening honors for that pair of Terminal 5 shows.  Last year’s Green Label Sound single “I Will Come Back” is so easy, it reminds you of an Asian girl in mid-July each and every time.

Yesterday, we got teased by “Drunk Girls”. Second verse, same as the first.
