Video at: “Ghosts” Promo #1
The “Ghosts” E.P. is the first album from singer-songwriter Dan Chapman. Blending story-telling, lush instrumentation and dream-like imagery, “Ghosts” unfolds from beginning to end like a chapter book you might find in a box in your attic.
The album is an array of ambient and melodic storytelling songs that paint a picture and cut deep. Songs like “Ghost Peak” create an almost eerie atmosphere with distant drums, acoustic and electric guitar combinations, and an alternative folk songwriting style.
The single “Wasted Matches” gives a more catchy, up beat, indie-folk vibe that balances and builds as the song goes on.
Any fan of Elliot Smith, Band Of Horses, or Jeff Buckley will be instantly pulled in! So enjoy!

Website: https://www.facebook.com/TheArtOfAmputation
Stream it at: https://soundcloud.com/the-art-of-amputation/distorted-pop-song-radio-edit
The Art of Amputation are an alternative five-piece from London who combine soaring melodies with experimental sounds and big fuzzy guitars to create soundscapes they claim will “hold your hand in dark times.”
The band consists of Freddy de Lord (Keyboards, Vocals and Saxophone), Hugh Fox (Drums, Drum-Loops/Programming and Percussion), Allan Harrod (Vocals, Guitar and Keyboards), Mark Hyden (Guitars and Vocals) and newly added member Tim Harrod (Vocals and Percussion).
Their new single ‘Distorted Pop Song’ is a stunning and intricately layered composition that channels the influences of The Flaming Lips and The Big Pink with its infectious, uplifting melody climaxing in a Spector-esque Wall of Sound.
