PRESS

• "I absolutely love this!"
  
  — LAUREN LAVERNE on "BBC 6 Music Recommends", UK
• "A transatlantic collision of vintage valve amps and futurist electronics. The tension between the opposing forces of glamour and grit is central to the United Ghosts sound."
  
  — VOLUME, UK
• "The excitement hits with the first notes, this electro-shoegaze duo are like a revved up Raveonettes Primal Scream mashup, flying high."
  
  — THE BIG TAKEOVER
• "Electronic-laced indie with ambient and shoegaze elements. Be watching for them."
  
  — LA RECORD
• "Out of Love is a ceaseless anthem of shoegazey pop, the song doesn't really let up, and that's a good thing. Every song on the EP is an anthemic wall of sound where the dynamics rarely shift out of the higher gears. Artist of the Month."
  
  — THE DELI, July 2014

• "'United Ghosts' is a glorious introduction to a band that has perfected their signature sound. Certainly not music to gaze at shoes, more music to gaze at the sky. 9/10"
  
  — This Is Not A Scene UK
• "United Ghosts are releasing great track after great track. Their rock-solid debut album should be on everyone's list to check out."
  
  — The Sound Of Confusion
• "Effortlessly cool...even on first listen it is clear that United Ghosts are not your quintessential glossy LA act."
  
  — Artrocker Magazine
• "United Ghosts (album) is easily one of the best indie rock gems of 2013. Indeed The Revolution's Waiting... all wrapped up in a 10 track album."
  
  — Dreamwave NYC
• "'Holes into the Night' is a propulsive Kraut-rock single which matches one part dreamy melodic vocals with two part foot-to-the-floor wall-of-sound guitars, all connected with a progressive and looping heart-beat of a hook."
  
  — Muzu.tv UK
• "Allow yourself to be drawn into 'United Ghosts' debut, and its depth and style will warrant any number of repeat listens."
  
  — Hit The Floor Magazine UK
• "United Ghosts may sound like they've emerged from mid-seventies industrial Germany but there's a heady mix of effects-laden electronica at the heart of the Californian quartet's make-up."
  
  — DrownedInSound.com
• "United Ghosts' offers slice upon slice of gorgeous dreamy, reverbed, indie-heaven with enough of an edge to prevent you from ever worrying or caring as to whether your laces are tied or not. Again, that boy / girl vocal sparring of Sha Sabi and Axel Steuerwald swings it - most definitely getting my vote (and credit card details - I am falling in love with this album...)"
  
  — Reclaiming The Colonies
• "Mesmerizing...United Ghosts blew me away with their haunting performance..."
  
  — Critical Wave UK
• "United Ghosts' debut album plays through like a journey in their hometown Los Angeles from dusk until dawn...brooding and stately."
  
  — Volume Magazine UK
• "'Unhypnotized' features lovely female/male vocal interchange over a film-noir-inspired riff... Ironically, the whole thing's pretty hypnotic."
  
  — Amoeba.com blog
• "...hazy guitar and synth textures and boy/girl vocals straight out of the jetstream... "Holes Into the Night," is like a dream in fast motion, a roll-the-windows-down psych-rocker."
  
  — BuzzBands.la
• "...this first 7" by Silver Lake dream-rockers United Ghosts has a bite to it that you wouldn't expect."
  
  — LA Record, Vol. 6 No. 3 / Issue 106
• "I've got a feeling we'll make United Ghosts this week's Daily Connection... listen for it next week... daily."
  
  — Nic Harcourt, KCSN 88.5FM
• "Their first two tracks 'Holes Into The Night' and 'Mainline to the Sun,' are certainly an indication of great things to come."
  
  — Steven Newcastle, 87.7FM NYC & IndieDarkroom.com
• "...a delirious cocktail of woozy guitar, boy/girl vocals and haunting echo..."
  
  — BuzzBands.la
• "Blending a wide variety of influences ranging from Kraut-rock to shoegaze to produce something extremely pleasing for the listener...even on first listen it is clear that United Ghosts are not your quintessential glossy LA act. 4/5"
  
  — Artrocker UK
• "Fresh from the hugely successful release of their previous single 'Holes Into The Night' and self-titled debut album, Los Angeles based United Ghosts just keep giving now dropping their brand new single accompanied with a stunning video and newly penned b-side."
  
  — Deviate Magazine London
• "Sabi and Steuerwald's voices fit together flawlessly alongside the electro-indie vibe marking "Modern Crime" a definite highlight."
  
  — Planet Notion UK
• "…this Reverb set marked the Ghosts first-ever performance. They sounded amazing, like arena quality."
  
  — Las Vegas Weekly
• "Best described as dreamy...Their first two tracks 'Holes Into The Night' and 'Mainline to the Sun,' set for official release October 25, are certainly an indication of great things to come."
  
  — Steven Newcastle, 87.7FM NYC & IndieDarkroom.com
• "An excellent surprise with their combination of girl-boy vocal harmonies and layered shoegazing-atmospheric soundscapes, which could go from beautiful poppy melodies to more fuzzy, slightly-krautrock-going-to-psychedelia slow burns."
  
  — RockNYCLiveandRecorded.com
• "Shoegazery with a shot of looking up once in awhile."
  
  — Ginger Bruner, 91.5FM KUNV Las Vegas
• "Wow, what a debut: take-no-prisoners-catchy, beautifully melodic, kraut-ey, psychedelic indie gear with a fine hint of shoegaze. Can't wait to hear the album. Especially because b-side 'Mainline to the Sun' is so good it's more like another A-side."
  
  — Shoegazr.de (Germany)
• "Their debut release 'Holes in the Night' is stacked with all the luminous rhythms that made Mere Mortals so loved, but the coupled vocals from Sha Sabi and Axel Steuerwald open up the songs to so much more possibilities. We're excited to see where they go from here."
  
  — LA-Underground.net
• "It sounds like being in a dream where you are able to fly through the galaxies."

BIO

• Los Angeles band United Ghosts blends a seemingly dizzying collection of influences that range from Dream Pop and Electronica to classic Psychedelia and Krautrock into a cohesive, hypnotic sound that celebrates its influences, while keeping one eye firmly set towards the future.

• Initially conceived as a loose garage-studio project by founding members and co-vocalists Sha Sabi and Axel Ray Steuerwald, United Ghosts have released two 7" singles plus 2013's self-titled debut album to much public and critical acclaim, picking up extensive radio play by such Indie-rock mavens as Steve Lamacq (BBC6), Nic Harcourt (KCSN), Jamie Kennedy (XFM London) and many others. The record fared especially well in the UK, where it was picked up by Cargo records for distribution and has made U.G. many devoted fans of both their recorded output and visceral live shows.
  
  After two successful UK/European tours, a slew of US shows (including CMJ New York) and a buzzing LA residency in 2013, UG went back into the studio to work on new music. Mostly self-producing, the band had help at the mixing stages from Producer/Engineer Drew Fisher (Le Sera, Cold Showers, Darker My Love). The result was the 2014 5-track EP entitled "Dear Electric Sun", which marked a shift in sound towards the more synth based and electronic, while keeping the dreamy warmth of the twin vocals and widescreen guitars that has become a signature of the band.
  
  A series of radical "Dear Electric Sun" remixes is to follow, before United Ghosts hit the road this summer in support of a new single and album, slated for a late 2015 release.
