Boorloo/Perth indie-rock act Ghost Care have got me grooving with their latest track “Never Knew.” It’s such a melodic, feel-good number, perfect for your Friday.
“‘Never Knew’ was written for someone who is constantly giving full-time devotion to someone with zero return on investment. Giving gold but receiving ghost,” the band’s lead vocalist and guitarist Beau Torrance explained. Ghost Care wrote this one in the studio with Dave Parkin (Spacey Jane, South Summit) after getting into what they call a “flow state.”
“It was our first time working with a sample to get inspired and we really enjoyed that — it’s quickly become our favourite song and favourite one to play live,” Beau enthused. “Lyrically there is a nod to ‘Rolling Stone’ by Bob Dylan. I remember the feeling of hearing that song for the first time as a kid — it was my first time hearing a Dylan song. I was enamoured and couldn’t stop listening.”
Ghost Care will celebrate the launch of “Never Knew” by playing Foreshore Friday and supporting The Velvet Club in Boorloo/Perth before embarking on their own national tour. Catch them anywhere you can music lovers!
