Render Ghosts and the emotional turning tables of "Look For Rain"

 

"I am afraid of my future / I feel displaced in my own skin / I'm not giving you the desire you desire..."

Render Ghosts have a way of distilling their thoughtful emotions into soundscapes that tweak and blend synth pop, jazz dips, baroque & fantasy pop into something that feels both surreal and deeply earnest. On "Look For Rain", Tom Wilson and Tamara van Esch’s lyrics "map out the disorientation of human relationships in a digital world" and within the context of the rapidly shape shifting beats and chord shapes, Tamara's vocal aesthetic is so exquisitely beautiful and moving. I love the peaks, the broken (gently strained) bits, wide eyed self harmonies and melancholy warbles. Her voice is so easy to get lost in especially as Iain Chamber's synthetic and organic soundscapes seem to dance with her vocals (or vice versa).

Render Ghosts (London/Utrecht) make soaring, kinetic tunes that take synth pop into the 21st century.

This is the first coming together of three musicians who individually make wildly different music — a singer-songwriter who until now has sung in Dutch, a classically-trained composer of chamber pop masterpieces, and a sound artist who uses buildings like Tower Bridge as instruments.

The result is Render Ghosts, who inhabit the spaces between Gracey and Everything Everything, Erasure and St Vincent.
