Today we’re excited to premiere the newest offering from Boston alternative artist Ghost on TV, in the form of the extremely groove heavy “Daily Laws.”
The track is driven by an irresistibly funky bassline and a swagger-filled groove that grabs attention from the first note. Blending the intensity of alternative rock with the heady atmospherics of trip hop, Ghost on TV’s “Daily Laws” recalls the likes of Radiohead and Animal Collective.
“‘Daily Laws’ is about the art of negotiation with yourself and others. We always need to make sacrifices in life when dealing with other people, but it’s important to make negotiations with yourself. Know when to be kind and compassionate and know when to be unapologetic when being or doing what is best for yourself,” says Paul DePasquale.
“The beat, groove, lyrics, and melody really felt to be the most mature, fresh, and simple-minded song I have made in a long time,” continues DePasquale. “It seemed to effortlessly embody the concept of the album, as well as what I am trying to do with the project, as well as myself as a songwriter. I wanted everything to have its own time and place and be open, while being dense at the same time.”
It’s also the first taste of their forthcoming new album Mister Silence, set for release early in 2025. Written, produced, and performed entirely by DePasquale, the new record has centered the artist’s creative focus, not only by finding a balance between what he personally desires and what he professionally expects of himself, but to also evolve rock music, and our stodgy notion of it.
At some point over the past few years, Paul DePasquale made a deal with himself. After two decades in the Boston music scene, mostly fronting celebrated alt-rock project Vary Lumar, the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter found himself without a creative musical outlet. So he decided to recalibrate, reload, and refresh, coming out on the other side with new solo project Ghost on TV.
Are you vibing with this one?
