Ghostmind

In the year 2009, Ghostmind walked into Los Angeles with a bass guitar strapped to his back and a military-style satchel hanging from his shoulder. With no memories reaching beyond a few years, Ghostmind wandered the streets, a vagabond, an unknown. He met a dying man in South Central who gave him the key to his '86 Mallard RV before he left to enter hospice in Victorville. A supernaturally-gifted mechanic and engineer, Ghostmind began working at an auto shop in Southgate. Observers generally described him as quiet, withdrawn. Laura, the daughter of the shop owner and eventually a close friend of Ghostmind, described him as "being from nowhere, attached to nowhere and going nowhere." As her relationship with Ghostmind deepened, she found a strong resonance in him with a former lover, the indie-darling Will Arquette, who was murdered in 2009 by a jealous ex-lover.
In naming his first album, TRILL, Ghostmind denotes authenticity as a central concept, using a hip hop fusion of "Truth" and "Real". And yet a supposed search for truth isn't what the album is about on its face. Themes of love, of broken love, or burning love, of a mysterious "She" entity, occupies the focus of his lyrics.
2021 finds Ghostmind releasing singles from the follow-up to TRILL, DARK BLONDE LIGHT BROWN. Pink Thunderbird, ET Come Home, and Monoboy each illustrate the diversity of feelings coursing through the upcoming album.
