Holy Ghost!: Dumb Disco Ideas
A look back at Ray Manzarek, Digable Planets’ reissue, “Dumb Disco Ideas” and more in our weekly music recap
Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel, the duo behind Holy Ghost!, released a banger of a song that’s sure to be a summer party anthem with “Dumb Disco Ideas“—contrary to the title. Perhaps they had an inkling it would become a Brooklyn rooftop staple when they teamed up with frequent collaborator Ben Fries to make the video, which forgoes the twosome in favor of an NYC skyline backdrop and a Simon Says-like time-lapse light show programmed to fall perfectly in sync with the beat. While their DFA-produced album Dynamics has yet to see a release date, you can catch them at several festivals around the US this summer.
