I went to see my brother’s band, The Detours, play at the Art Factory a couple of weeks ago, and was fortunate enough to catch unsigned FBi darlings,The Spirits’ opening set. I spent the entire time making the fairly obvious statement to everyone that, “Shit. These guys are awesome (and I’m getting another wine).” Formerly Chequered Leopards, this Sydney-based four-piece produces a complex mix of the moody and the ethereal with the rousingly melodic, their reverb-heavy sound enhancing their haunting, yet tight, aesthetic. Think Foals, but more ghostlike.
They’ve recently recorded the material for their yet-to-be-released debut EP with Damian Press (of Expatriate) in a reverberating house in Petersham, and are gearing up to release the first single from it soon. In the meantime you can visit their Myspace page to say hello, and be sure to catch their next show on the 9th January at World Bar (Sydney).

They are suberb. So really “Ghostlike” and sounds as a fresh evening air breath of spring.
How it’s possible to get more of their tracks? Google search of them did helped me..
