Hidden Shoal Recordings Release Debut Single by Ghost In The Water.

Feb. 28, 2008 - PRLog -- Perth, Western Australia; Minneapolis, Minnesota.. The Australian music label Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the first single to be taken from the upcoming album Tooth by American duo Ghost In The Water.

‘Clean Sinks and Folded Laundry’ is a majestic slice of electronic pop. The track is both delicate yet expansive, uplifting yet bruised with longing. With ‘Clean Sinks and Folded Laundry’ Ghost In The Water present a luscious and intricate version of what pop music can be. Winding strings, bubbling electronics and the golden vocal tones of Mandy Tensen-Woolery create an undeniably transporting atmosphere.

In wonderful contrast the single also comes with the infectious bonus track ‘How To Draw A Ghost’, also taken from the upcoming Tooth album.

As Ghost In The Water, husband and wife Nathan and Mandy Tensen-Woolery create intimate, charming electronic pop, suspended weightless between the twin poles of childlike enthusiasm and haunted memories. Like gazing upward at a star-filled sky while weighed down by the responsibilities of the everyday.

“a beautiful fusion between technological inspirations and wholesome handmade melodies. Ghost In The Water put a little cloud under your chair and another one behind your head” – City Pages

“gorgeous, angelic music…male/female vocals play off each other with remarkable results” – Sound As Language
Nathan and Mandy also comprise the well-loved Minneapolis band Fitzgerald, who have continued to gather a strong following along with praise in the indie press. Ghost In The Water came into life after Nathan wrote the song ‘Clean Sinks and Folded Laundry’ for a friend’s animation in the spring of 2006. The friend left for the wilds of Omaha, Nebraska, leaving Nathan with a song and no animation. ‘Clean Sinks and Folded Laundry’ opened up a raft of new musical possibilities for the pair in terms of both composition and sound – and Ghost In The Water was born.

‘Clean Sinks and Folded Laundry’ (with bonus b-side ‘How To Draw A Ghost’) is now available from the Hidden Shoal Recordings Store. The single will be available for free download until the debut album Tooth by Ghost In The Water is released on 8th April 2008.
