“Of Sons and Ghosts are based in North Park and played their debut gig in May 2010. “The band is named after the recent departure of three of our most influential father figures,” says singer-keyboardist Lane Dawson. “Our music is lo-fi, with a shoegazer kind of vibe.” According to singer-guitarist Danny Medina, “The five of us are extreme music lovers, and our tastes are very similar, but there’s a wide range of influences.” Singer-guitarist Barry Ligman describes the band’s music as “ambient, indie-noise garage rock, like a gentle melody quickly disrupted with distortion and controlled noise.” “We love the contrast of something beautiful over something chaotic,” says singer-bassist Brian Grover. “Whether it be dark lyrics over a tranquil sound or a light falsetto sung over a heavy, distorted wall of sound.” Drummer Adam Eidson puts it this way: “It’s about finding that unique sound, the niche, that will allow us to stand out.” ”

“Of Sons and Ghosts is currently completing a 10-track album at Signature Sound in San Diego, which has a tentative release date of late-Fall. The CD, of which three songs are complete, will be self-produced with the assistance of Signature Sound’s Christian Cummings. The band felt that previous recording efforts were a bit rushed. “We really want to take our time on this one, and get it right.””
