Listening • Let’s Get Physical

The Black Ghosts are also the subject of premature hypulation. They’ve been generating heat since the release of their EP last fall, and are now releasing exclusive music videos (on Big Stereo and Missing Toof) for every track on their self-titled debut before it’s out on July 8. Truth is, that kind of trickle-release marketing is better left to action figures and limited-edition cereal boxes—or, at least, better videos. But the Black Ghosts have their solid moments as a band, and I’m holding on to the hope that next Monday yields something on par with the robot workshop wonderland in the original vid for “Any Way You Choose to Give It.” Sadly, that won’t be happening with their cover of “Let’s Get Physical,” which isn’t on the LP’s track list. You’ll just have to close your eyes and make up your own. —Heather Rasley, May. 28, 2008
