[Ed. Note rex has discovered many lost gems in the past week as he has been cataloguing his collection of 7” records. Below is a picture of one such “find.”]

Are you familiar with the outfit TEAM GHOST 🇫🇷?

Didn’t think so.

This band originated when NICOLAS FROMAGEAU departed the up and coming M83 (also 🇫🇷) in 2004 after their 2nd LP.

The record was curated for me by one of my mates at ROUGH TRADE EAST on a visit in 2010 just days after the record was released.

I was immediately taken by the music, but as the years went by, I inadvertently “ghosted” TEAM GHOST. On rediscovering this band while sorting my 7” records, I have re-listened and want to seek out their discography. It appears they released a couple of additional singles and then a couple of LPs before a self-released eponymously titled LP in late 2016.

One of the singles I also need to track down is “The Dead Film Star E.P.”

Here is the title track of that release.
