Rocktober '10s Song #17: "Friendly Ghost" by Harlem (2010)

We've reached the pinnacle of the year, fine people.  Scorpio has started, and we're now only a week from Halloween.  That means the remaining Rocktober songs will relate in some way to Halloween, ghosts, the macabre, and the like.

Our first Halloween treat is from short-lived Austin-based garage rock trio Harlem.  After self-releasing an EP in 2008 and gaining a following from their live shows, they signed to indie label Matador and released their first full-length album, Hippies, in April 2010.  In 2012, the band went on hiatus, though they got back together and released an album in 2019.

The second track off of Hippies is a catchy garage rocker called "Friendly Ghost."  Warning:  portions of the video may induce epileptic seizures.
