Holiday Ghosts\u00a0have shared Total Crisis<\/em>, the latest single to be lifted from their upcoming new album\u00a0\u2018North Street Air,\u2019 due May 21\u00a0via FatCat Records. The album can be pre-ordered\u00a0here<\/a>.

Holiday Ghosts – based in Brighton, via Falmouth, and comprised of\u00a0drummer Katja Rackin and guitarist Sam Stacpoole – mine the works of eras past to cast the best of artists such as\u00a0The Kinks, Violent Femmes, Alex Chilton and Modern Lovers as a backdrop onto which they deconstruct a myriad of social issues. Themes of breaking out of moulds and expectations whilst addressing\u00a0displacement, disillusionment, and living in the midst of heavy advertising and commercial landscapes, spider their way through the new record.

Through the course of two previous singles,\u00a0Mr. Herandi<\/em><\/a> and\u00a0Off Grid<\/em><\/a>, they confronted\u00a0themes of capitalism and social disconnection, respectively,\u00a0telling their story from the perspective of what it feels like to be on the blunt end of years of cuts to key services, and tax breaks for the rich. New single Total Crisis<\/em> was written by occasional member of the band Charlie Murphy, who said this about the song:\u00a0“Total Crisis was written before the world descended into an actual total crisis. It\u2019s about deciding whether you can live with a personal problem, or whether it should be the catalyst for a big change.”<\/em>
