Ghost Care


Ghost Care

Your go-to polished indie-rockers, Ghost Care, bring in the new year strong with their latest single  'Partying'. They also announce big touring plans for the first half of the year as they accompany Spacey Jane as their main support for a string of east-coast stops in May alongside their own west-coast shows.

In a similar vein to Spacey Jane, Ball Park Music or Noah Dillon, Ghost Care take the core of indie-rock and meld it into their own hearting brand of triumphant tenderness that has seen them soar to over 785k streams across previous releases.



This latest single showcases a poignant mesh of bright cheery instrumentation conceals an undercurrent of deeper emotion, narrating the common frustrations of modern dating and being strung along. 

"Partying is for anyone with a broken heart. It's about being strung along to find at the end of it all that person was never willing to fully commit. I had the initial idea for the chorus for years and when I used to sing the lyrics it made me laugh. Everything's 'rosie', and then suddenly it gets deep and emotive. Recently, a few of my friends went through similar situations and that's when the rest of the song fell into place."  Beau, Ghost Care.

Ghost Care have once again teamed up with Director and film maker Cedric Tang (Tame Impala, Spacey Jane, The Teskey Brothers) to bring visuals to life for 'Partying' that narrate the permeating memories of an old high-school fling.

"Bringing this to reality we instantly thought of our good friend Paul. We actually met Paul because he was a fan of our music and he and his wife soon became our really good friends. I messaged Paul and asked if he would like to be in a clip. I probably didn't explain his role very well. He thought he might be an extra for a short scene but he was the main character. He nailed the part though! We worked with Cedric Tang who took our vision and brought it to life. My favourite scene is at the end when Paul is singing with us as the lead singer. We did a whole take like that and none of us could stop smiling and laughing." Ghost Care


Their intensely loveable concoction of analogue-washed vocals, confident yet delicate harmonies, grooving drums and refined guitar soar to new heights, confirming the accolades and praise received throughout the past year. 

The second half of 2022 saw Ghost Care travel interstate for the first time as a band. In September, they welcomed new audiences with an impeccable showcase at the annual music industry festival and conference BIGSOUND. Their inaugural journey east attracted a keen eye from media and radio, subsequently garnering praise and support from top-tier publications and radio such as The Sydney Morning Herald, Brisbane Times, Concrete Playground, WA Today, Music Feeds, Double J, triple j, AAA Backstage, Best Before and more. 

After knock-out showcases, Ghost Care ventured on an east-coast tour, gearing up for their third EP release 'Pedal to the Metal' in November which similarly attracted high praise and support.

In the 3 years the trio have been riffing, they've carved out a devout following. With a nomination BEST POP ACT in the WAM Awards alongside San Cisco, Spacey Jane and Stella Donnelly under their belt, 2023 is the year they capitalise on their growth and kick it into the next gear. 

Recorded at Blackbird Studios in Perth, 'Partying' was produced and mixed by Dave Parkin (Spacey Jane, San Cisco, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets), a long-time collaborator of the band, who has supported them through previous releases like Part Time Living, Bussell Hwy and Shelley Park. Adding to the dream team was mastering by George Georgiadis (The Vanns, Matt Corby, Babe Rainbow).

"The recording process was strange to say the least. We had finished the whole song, but it just wasn't feeling right. It was just my vocals and a nothing special mic, space echo (plus some good producing) and we had the emotion. We ended up redoing the whole song in about an hour with mostly one take."  Beau, Ghost Care.

Ghost Care will be taking their polished set to a number of stages in the imminent future. Gearing up for their single launch headline show in April at Mojos, they will be jamming in the leadup throughout March at William Street Long Lunch & Block Party, Life on Margs and supporting Ball Park Music in May. In addition to this they have just been announced as the main support for the Spacey Jane east-coast regional tour in May-June.
