Holy Ghost

Holy Ghost! are back with a new EP, Crime Cutz, which is out April 29 via DFA. The title is out now as a single and is typical of what the NYC duo do well: ’80s-style electropop with a decidedly human heartbeat. Featuring the East Coast Inspirational Singers Choir, “Crime Cutz” is also one of their best singles in some time. You can check out the deceptively simple but captivating video, directed by Ben Fries, below.

The duo will be heading to Australia this month for a DJ tour, but will be back in NYC to play this year’s MoMA Armory Party on March 2 which is the kickoff event to the annual The Armory Show and Armory Arts Week (March 3 – 6). Tickets to this gala event are on sale — not cheap, but tax deductible.

In other DFA news, the label is back with another of their “Hot Dog” parties which will happen at Good Room on February 27 featuring “DJ sets by the DFA family + guests and a very special live performance!” No word on who is DJing/playing but tickets are on sale. Flyer for DFA’s Winter Hot Dog is below.
