Dawes - Ghost In The Machine (Official Performance Video)

The Official Performance for Dawe’s new single “Ghost In The Machine”, off their upcoming new album ‘Misadventures Of Doomscroller’ releasing July 22, 2022. "The words to this song are about the early days of a band. Playing small clubs and going on small tours. As hard as it is in the moment, it’s hard not to look back at those times through rose colored glasses. It’s all a lot more romantic now. And it’s also what built our foundational faith in what we do. It’s the first time we’ve ever had a song with this kind of feel. We got Jonathan Wilson to play a second drum kit for the live take. Griffin and he switch off taking those drum breaks at the end. The solos were live on the floor and there’s no BGVs so other than extra percussion, a rhythm guitar, and an extra keyboard part, it’s all one live take. Feels like it’s gonna be a mainstay in the live show for a long time to come." - TG Pre-Order ‘Misadventures Of Doomscroller’: https://found.ee/Dawes_Misadventures Listen to “Ghost In The Machine”: Apple Music: https://found.ee/dawes_ghostAM Spotify: https://found.ee/dawes_ghostSp Amazon Music: https://found.ee/dawes_ghostAmzu Amazon: https://found.ee/dawes_ghostAmz YouTube Music: https://found.ee/dawes_ghostYTm Pandora: https://found.ee/dawes_ghostPandora Starring Mike Hitchcock Taylor Goldsmith – guitar, primary vocal Wylie Gelber – handmade bass Griffin Goldsmith – drums, percussion, background vocals Lee Pardini – piano, organ, synthesizers, clavinet, Wurlitzer, guitar, background vocals Additional musicians: Trevor Menear – guitar Luis Conte – percussion Jonathan Wilson – second drum kit & percussion on “Ghost In The Machine” Mike Viola – extra vocals on “Comes In Waves” Film Crew Caitlin Gerard - producer / Director Vince Patin - DP Robin Gonsalves - Editor Jackie Bryan - 2nd camera op Arjay Ancheta - Gaffer Brandon Garmen - key grip Jesse Mejia - Grip YJ Gold - sound Music Production Produced by Jonathan Wilson Mixed by Jonathan Wilson and Grant Milliken Engineered by Grant Milliken Special thanks to Keith Munson and Candice Stewart at East West Studios Follow Dawes: Website: https://found.ee/DAWES Facebook: https://found.ee/DawesFB Instagram: https://found.ee/DawesIG Twitter: https://found.ee/DawesTwitter YouTube: https://found.ee/DawesYT Spotify: https://found.ee/DawesSpotify Apple Music: https://found.ee/DawesAppleMusic TikTok: https://found.ee/DawesTikTok Lyrics Standing right outside the Echo When we were still just cutting teeth Turning madness into waveforms Searching chords for what's beneath All these existential freshmen Trying to keep our noses clean Scared to show our faith in The ghost in the machine Standing right outside the Echo When we were working for the door Assuming all our dreams were brighter than The bands we played before But you could see it in their hunger You could hear it in their screams They too were just trying to make contact With the ghost in the machine Through the build-ups and the breakdowns Through the boom and through the crash Building stockpiles of excuses On how to trade it in for cash All the poisonous motel rooms The lobby call at 6:15 One million miles upon a highway For a ghost in the machine All the doubts and hesitations I built up in my early years Are under reconsideration Through the music of the spheres Which I cannot deny any longer When every night I reconvene With these vibrations giving proof of The ghost in the machine #Dawes #GhostInTheMachine #MisadventuresOfDoomscroller #OfficialPerformance
