Sometimes you just need a fun song in your life. Maybe after a long Friday at work, or maybe to wake you up smiling on a Monday. Maybe when you're a little sad, maybe when you are having fun with your friends.

That's where 'Ghosts' comes in. It is impossible to not bob your head to the beat, or even begin to dance, I daresay. It has a vocal progression that is as old as music itself, and a bridge pattern that has been raided, exploited & plundered in Pop music. There is not a lot of new information for our brains to process in terms of instrumentation or lyrics, which makes it one of the best songs to be just a soundtrack to your life.

And the video makes it better! It features Boris & Miss Oatmeal, sock puppets controlled by Mike and his wife Anna. The animation is created entirely by Mike. What a genius! If it wasn't enough to compose 16 new songs and perform all the instruments on them.

Kick off the 2018 summer in style by adding this track to your commute & pool party playlists, and thank me later. Stay hydrated!
