Los Angeles dream pop/synth wave/indie pop duo CD Ghost, made up of Cody Han and Blake Dimas, have premiered the video for their new single “If Only“.
The song is taken from their forthcoming album ‘Night Music‘, due to be released on November 11 via Born Losers Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Cody and Blake produce a danceable brand of surrealist dream pop, the pair have journeyed from the lo-fi glaze of their debut EP “Ghost Hunting” to the richly ethereal dream bops of subsequent EPs “Here It Comes Again” and “Dreams We Share”, with tracks such as “Undercurrent” and “Roll the Dice” earning them attention online.
Now the group joins Born Losers Records for their first LP-length project, “Night Music”. The project sees the duo expand their watercolor dream pop palette toward the edges and intersections of dark wave, avant-pop, and shoegaze. Written during a pandemic while the duo was split between L.A. and Beijing, the project reflects on solitude, change, and the passage of time.

CD Ghost “If Only” Lyrics:
Out with the light, your shadow’s
Falling tonight beneath the moonglow, then the thought grows
Back of my mind, the swell of
Blood in my eyes beneath the hallows, down where we go
I’d let it go oh if only
But it haunts me
Killing me slow and softly
I’d let it go oh if only
But it haunts me
Follows me like a shadow
Do I need this disease, I don’t know, fear it’s my home
Taken so many from me
What do you see through a glass darkly, just a memory
I’d let it go oh if only
But it haunts me
Killing me slow and softly
I’d let it go oh if only
But it haunts me
