Los Angeles-based up and coming duo Dreaming of Ghosts release today their debut track “The First One.” This is the first single from their yet untitled debut album which was produced by Robot Koch and Fiora. Dreamy and ghostly, the track seems coming straight out of the abyss or rather the opposite from the clouds. We don’t know much about the duo, but here’s a short text that accompanies the release and details a bit more their universe:

[su_quote]Two outsiders meet again in a strange new world. Familiar to each other yet unknowable to themselves, their new environment begins to change them. They create music to explore their rediscovered relationship to space; dwelling calmly and slowly in the terrifying emptiness. And as they wait without time; alone but not alone. At peace in the uncomfortable dissonance. Worlds begin to reveal out of what seemed void. Bold new realities expand and take form. And reaching out, wide and open – difficult questions find answers while others remain forever unresolved. [/su_quote]

The song deals with the up and downs in life and how friendship survives through time. The astounding smooth vocals, that remind the voice signature of Tracey Thorn, by Fiora marry perfectly the smooth trip-hop production of Robot Koch. After releasing many music separately, it is a powerhouse duo that delivers one of our favorite tracks of 2017 (so far).

The video, as minimal and strong as the song, shows the artist looking direclty at the camera, while time passes by. The message is simple yet powerful.
