Following the release of ‘Late Night Store’ and a sold-out east coast tour, Melbourne duo Husky bring news of their awaited third record Punchbuzz (out June 2), and share new single ‘Ghost’.

Premiered on radio via triple j and online through Clash Magazine, ‘Ghost’ offers a second glimpse of the new album and a freshly evolved, experiential sound. The song details Husky Gawenda and Gideon Preiss’s experiences of life back in Australia after eight months abroad in Europe. Previous single ‘Late Night Store’ is now at two million streams on Spotify.

When Husky returned to the familiar sites and sounds of Melbourne late in 2015, the singer-songwriter sought sanctuary at a creative hub called The Hotel – “an old mansion that serves as a home, way station, salon, oasis for artists, eccentrics, night owls and sojourners passing through or needing to hang up their skates for a while.

“Melbourne was new to me as it always is when I return from being away. But it was also full of ghosts – remnants of my past life, people who were no longer around, places that were at once familiar and foreign, memories that drifted through my dreams and waking thoughts, becoming fused and inseparable. I slept little but dreamt a lot. My dreams were of the past, they took me back over and over again when what I wanted was to start again, to find something brand new. Ghost was part of a process of coming to terms with this half asleep, half awake, somewhere between the haunted past and the sunlit possibility of tomorrow.”
