I'm Holding On To What I Can't Have

Los Angeles-based singer/producer Danny Choi, recording as Ghost Loft, caught my attention last year with his excellent track 'Seconds', a glorious 3 minute mélange of R&B-tinged minimalist pop and airy vocals, embellished with a killer sample.

Now he has dropped the sombre but similarly superb 'So High', a strong indication that Ghost Loft is here for the long haul. Teaming subdued synths with a guitar line that recalls Shontelle's 'Impossible',  the track is three minutes of pure magic.

Be There In A Second's Flat

A track I've been hooked on for the past couple of weeks is 'Seconds' by Ghost Loft. Teaming electronica with R'n'B á la James Blake, The XX and The Weeknd, the track is also slathered with pop sensibilities.

Ghost Loft, real name Danny Choi, hails from Los Angeles and seems to be another of these camera shy fellows. It appears that he is only getting started at this music-making lark, with just a handful of uploads to his Soundcloud. In any case, he's already making waves with these initial releases and should be worth keeping tabs on in the coming months.



Incidentally, the track was featured on Ms Mr's recent mixtape, which can be downloaded here.
