Why Should I Listen to Ghostland Observatory?

Self described as 'like a robot making love to a tree,' Ghostland Observatory sounds more like a love child of Queen, Michael Jackson, and Daft Punk. Thomas Turner (synthesizer and drums) brings the beats and Aaron Behrens (guitar and vocals) brings the incindiary vocal prowess, thumping power chords, and the tightest white pants West of 1975. Stand a couple rows back at a night show, and you'll be mesmerized for days, and find yourself listening to more dance, disco, house, and other types of electronic music until you have the opportunity to see them at their next show.

Ghostland Observatory Discography

Ghostland Observatory released their first album delete.delete.i.meat in 2005. Six months later, they released the album Paparazzi Lighting. Rumor has it that they were recorded at the same time. In March of 2008 they released their third album Robotique Mystique.
