Elliot & The Ghost

Elliot & The Ghost came together in 2014 in New York City. The band’s very first performances were held in old Brooklyn loft spaces and scuzzy dives, but within a year’s time the group was invited as direct support alongside Weezer and Gary Clark Jr., and has since shared stages with the late B.B. King, Shakey Graves, Echosmith, Parquet Courts, Miniature Tigers, amongst many others.

Artist Direct praised Elliot & The Ghost as “a vibrant painting with sonic colors spanning Nick Cave-style cinematic musings, surfed-up post-punk guitars evocative of The Smiths and The Clash, and eerily danceable beats that prove instantly magnetic. Still, descriptions don't do it justice. You've just got to let Elliot & The Ghost haunt you.” Flavorpill lauded their “brand of Southern influenced pop-rock,” and Gimme Shutter declared them “mesmerizing.” Similarly, CMJ applauded their “fresh, airy kind of surf-pop in the vein of early Rosebuds or the Shins stripped of cardigans and sent back to a dank basement to get a little tipsy and start all over.”
Culture Collide applauds them as "cohesive, dynamic, and built to stand the test of time. There’s no shortage of young rock bands in NYC, but Elliot & The Ghost manage to sound fresh and unique in a saturated field. ‘Grahlahla‘ energizes with enough pop to be instantly catchy, enough rock n’ roll to keep a raw edge, and enough variety to stay engaging through endless replays.”

The band completed a North American tour along with a handful of festival appearances in support of their four initial single releases.

With the release of their debut EP “Grahlahla” (2018) and recognition as one of New York’s finest live acts, Elliot & The Ghost are on the verge of breaking out. The lead single “Frenchie” has garnered new audiences worldwide and can be heard in
heavy rotation on indie radio and SiriusXM.

“A smoldering piece of dark rock, perfect for a Tarantino-esque cannonball run through the cool desert night.."
