Brooklyn-based electronic composers Paul Duncan and Oliver Chapoy are Warm Ghost. It started as Duncan's solo project, but the extra hands allow for a more expansive palette. Bear In Heaven's Adam Wills offers a nice description: "Cold Wave synths. David Sylvian-esque vocals. 10 second delay ... Low frequencies, smart chord changes, minor scale drones, heartfelt lyrics, and infectious hooks ... Paul's vocal range is wide and able, and adding this super romantic warmth to a colder musical palette." Hear it for yourself via the Brandon LaGanke & John Carlucci-directed video for "Open The Wormhole In Your Heart," the first single from the forthcoming Uncut Diamond EP , a collection combining three remastered track from their debut Claws Overhead EP with three new ones. The video's NSFW, but it's Friday.

For your own artistic nudism:
Warm Ghost - "Open The Wormhole In Your Heart"
Uncut Diamond is out 2/15 via Partisan. Duncan's collaborated with Bear In Heaven's Joe Stickney along with Oren Ambarchi, Chris Bear, Tortoise's Doug McCombs, etc. All work as decent aesthetic touchstones for Warm Ghost's sound.
