Harmoos is an up-and-coming Boston band that self-describe as “ghost pop” – and I think that’s a pretty accurate – and occasionally literal – description.
In their new video for “The Best,” the first track on their new, self-released album, WRONGGG, Harmoos dress up as ghosts among the living, an apt performance interpretation for the song and the album, which frontperson Will Henriksen described as dealing with “getting through a really uncomfortable year or two.”
The song floats through scenes of the minutiae of adult life, just like the ghosts of Harmoos float through the scenes of the video. According to Henriksen, Ari Ratner, who filmed the video, asked them if they wanted it to be spooky. They said yes.
Watch the video below, buy the album here, and catch Harmoos on tour in a venue near you sometime soon – it’ll be spooky.
