Leaneagh’s vocal prowess was well-known around city, and Olson asked her to become listed on Gayngs like a touring member. The set began collaborating independently music in June 2011, placing Leaneagh’s versatile tone of voice (she’d previously fronted the folk-rock music group Roma di Luna with her previous spouse, Alexei Moon Casselle) in Olson’s easy digital soundscapes, which borrow similarly from R&B and goth pop. Within per month, that they had an album’s well worth of tunes ready and started documenting, recruiting drummers Ben Ivascu and Drew Christopherson, bassist Chris Bierden, and Bon Iver collaborator and vocalist Mike Noyce to flesh out the audio they envisioned. The outcomes, Provide you with the Ghost, had been combined by Spoon’s Jim Eno and released by Olson and Christopherson’s Totally Gross Country wide Product on ROMANTIC DAYS CELEBRATION 2012. The record earned widespread important acclaim, as well as the music group spent a lot of that season touring with works like the xx.
