Ghosting Season

Ghosting Season is an electronic music band from Manchester, UK.[1][2] They also operate a small recording label, "This is It Forever".[3]

History

The band was started in early 2011 by Gavin Miller and Thomas Ragsdale, and was originally a spin off from the electronic group worriedaboutsatan,[4][5] and plays similar music but with rhythms more suitable for dancing.[6] The band initially self-released two EPs: 'Far End Of The Graveyard',[7] and the 'Far End Of The Graveyard Remixes'.[8]

Their debut album, 'The Very Last Of The Saints' was released in 2012 by Last Night On Earth, the imprint started by Sasha,[9] to a generally positive critical response.[10][11][12][13]

The singles 'Far End Of The Graveyard' and 'A Muffled Sound Of Voices' brought the band to a larger audience thanks to radio airplay.[14] XFM DJ Mary Anne Hobbs later featured a guest mix from the band on her Saturday evening show[15]

The band are particularly known for their live shows, as they use a mixture of more traditional instrumentation such as guitars and vocals, with electronic elements like laptops and Roland SPD-S drum pads.[16]

In 2013, the band toured the UK,[17][18] including a performance at the "Sounds from the Other City" concert in Salford.

In 2014, the band released a library of sound samples that it had created.[19]
