Harlem   Friendly Ghost stream music mp3

You can say that I’m a bit late to the Harlem party. Actually, I’m still not there at all. I just happen to like the song the DJ is playing at the moment, so I’m secretly hiding outside the window. Yeah, you can say that. That sounds about right.

Harlem hail from ATX, where all the cool bands come from, and they sound like your typical fuzzy garage indie-rock band still in love with Nirvana. They’re just probably better at it than your band, and they happen to play shows with TV on the Radio. Go figure.

“Friendly Ghost” comes from Harlem’s Matador debut, Hippies, which comes with highly diggable (and again, totally typical) artwork.
