Ghost of Vroom – the acclaimed band comprised of veteran singer-songwriter Mike Doughty (Soul Coughing), bassist Andrew “Scrap” Livingston, and drummer Madden Klass – have shared their sizzling new summer single, “Still Getting It Done,” available now at all DSPs and streaming services. A mesmerizing official music video – directed by experimental video creator William Schalda Jr. aka SWIVS – premieres today on YouTube. “Still Getting It Done” heralds the upcoming release of Ghost of Vroom’s eagerly anticipated new album, GHOST OF VROOM 3, arriving via Mod y Vi Records on Friday, September 1. Pre-orders are available now.
Produced by longtime collaborator Mario Caldato Jr. (Beastie Boys, Beck, Jack Johnson), GHOST OF VROOM 3 collects a dozen new tracks built upon hard-hitting drums, eclectic hooks, and Doughty’s signature brand of lyrically dexterous art-pop. Highlights include the first single, “Pay The Man,” available now at all DSPs and streaming services. An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the “Making of GHOST OF VROOM 3” is streaming now on YouTube.
Ghost of Vroom – who last year performed multi-week improvised music residencies in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, creating a completely unique show with each and every set – will celebrate GHOST OF VROOM 3 with their most wide-ranging US tour schedule thus far. Complete details and ticket availability will be announced soon.
“It’s a dream, and a groove, and its language is an object,” writes award-winning author Rick Moody in an exclusive essay accompanying GHOST OF VROOM 3, “one that leads beyond where Doughty started, into a life of greater improvisation, the aleatory, the migratory, the dilatory, hand signals, dropping in and dropping out the kid goes for broke, and here makes one of the great records of his life, a thing of its time, a thing of another time, a thing that makes dreams out of time, and a thing of great beauty, and, let it be said, acceleration, here it is the third of three, like hypothesis, antithesis, synthesis, GHOST OF VROOM 3.”
