Ghost Poet

Thanks to Shevlonius who I teefed this find from. Ghost Poet's style was best described by an author on Last Fm as a "handful of off-kilter, loopy electronic ditties blessed with his delightfully rambling musings on modern life." I'd say his style has elements of Trip Hop, great slightly fragmented electronic beats, with a poetry jam feel... Def worth a library addition.

Track: Cash & Carry Me Home, Album: Peanut Butter Blues & Melancholy Jam (2011)

Not a huggeeeeeee fan of all their music, but the song below is pretty good… Ed is a Portal… these guys have a Really Upbeat Communal Indie Psychedelic Feel. Maybe a good song for dancing around a fire… not that that's something I would do….
