About

the Ghost is Dancing

since circa 2003
"Madcap marching band meets high-energy pop hooks, where trumpet fanfares compete with shout-along group verses and choruses. Even the most stone-cold corpse couldn't sit still through one of their live performances."
–Sarah Liss, NOW Magazine

Recorded on the shores of Lake Ontario on Toronto Island, The Darkest Spark is the first full-length by the indie-rock collective known as The Ghost is Dancing. 2006 saw the release of TGID's joyful and energetic debut EP, exploding with a barely contained pop feel the new band mates had channeled in the basement practice space of their Toronto group house. Now (mostly) out of school, the indie-rock collective have swapped roommates and also added the expert skills of Alt Altman on horn and guitar, Lesley Davies on backing vocals and Ben "Mountain Man" Deschamps on strings. Along with these transformations, they signed with Sonic Unyon Records and set about recording their first full-length album.
