Former Ghosts is a collaborative project steeped in dark, textured electronics and haunting pop melodies. Initially fronted by Freddy Ruppert, with notable contributions from Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu and Nika Roza Danilova of Zola Jesus, the project has become a touchstone for fans of experimental synth-driven music. Over the years, the lineup expanded to include Yasmine Kittles (Tearist), bringing additional layers to the sound. While the group has not released new material since 2015, the earlier records remain influential in the indie electronic scene.
