STUFF I MISSED: Holy Ghost + Michael McDonald

Maybe it shouldn't be surprising that New York electro duo Holy Ghost! has enlisted one of the big hitters of blue-eyed soul. After all, they're on the punky, funky, DFA label. But the wickedness of the musical combination blew me away when I read about it today. I had no idea this collaboration occurred. Leave it to Pitchfork to fill in the gaps.

The album came out in April but somehow I missed it. I'm sure I'm not the only one. At least check out the fantastic song, "Some Children" if nothing else. Michael McDonald sounds strangely at home on the track, a testament to the growing skill of Holy Ghost!

Moves like this show that despite the colossal hype that's been surrounding Holy Ghost since they went public with "Hold On" that they're far more than ephemeral club-kid zeitgeist of the 2000s.
