“Apparition” by Frank + Derol

As all 4 of you know, I’ve really been into ghost songs lately.

Here’s another ghost-related song called “Apparition” by Frank + Derol.

Frank + Derol are a semi-electro / dreampop / garage rock sounding Los Angeles duo – Codi Caraco and the as of yet lesser-known Cyrus daughter Brandi Cyrus.

They’re opening with Kitten at tonight’s Sir Sly show at the Casbah in San Diego!

The Hood Internet Remixes “The Hunter” by ON AN ON

The always amazing Hood Internet remixed “The Hunter” by ON AN ON (a current BoxSpeaker favorite).

In usual Hood Internet fashion, they used the “The Hunter,” an indie track, as the base while overlaying it with ProbCause and Mig Mora‘s raps.

If you’re in San Francisco, catch ON AN ON opening for Geographer at the Fillmore on January 31. LA fans can catch them at the Echo on February 1.

“Ghosts” by ON AN ON

I noticed today that ghosts have been a running theme in a lot of the songs I’ve been listening to this season and even this year.

From Ghost Beach’s various songs during the summer and fall to “Seconds” by Ghost Loft to my obsession with “Ghost” by Sr. Sly last month.

“Ghosts” by ON AN ON is another notch on the ghost song bedpost for this year. You can’t listen to this song and not comment on the hurt howling that begin emanating at 52-seconds in behind the lethargic guitar riffs and shoegazer-style drum beats.
