QUARANTINE PROFILE: Handsome Ghost
We’ve launch a profile series to highlight how artists are spending their time during quarantine. Several times a week we’ll highlight a new artist across the globe and see how they’re keeping busy during COVID-19 lockdowns.
Last month Handsome Ghost made a return with their latest album, Some Still Morning. It's the perfect album to launch us into the Fall season. Some Still Morning’s easy listening styling gives us a perfect embrace for the chilly weather and darker days. Scroll down to have a listen to the new album and check out our chat with Tim & Eddie to see how they’ve been spending lockdown.

What’s a puzzle you’ve completed during quarantine?
I did one with a bunch of people reading novels that had slight puns or twists on the titles. I don't remember many of them, but Henry Snotter stuck with me... There was also a cat reading The Great Catsby. How charming.
What’s something new you’ve cooked/baked?
I got really into making Korean food, especially since I haven't been able to see my parents too much recently because of the pandemic. Most recently was some tteokbokki, which is a dish of little chewy rices in a spicy chili sauce.
What’s a song that is your go to comfort jam?
Recently I've been diving deep into the old classics from my younger years. Been digging into songs that I hadn't listened to for years like "Good" by Better Than Ezra, or "Possum Kingdom" by the Toadies. All the old hits I'd forgotten about.
Something keeping Handsome Ghost sane right now: We went on a bunch of sunrise walks to take photos with Echo the dog, also the star of the "Funeral" music video. She's a sweet sweet little lady, and the walks really help keep us grounded.
What’s something you miss the most right now?
We just put out our record Some Still Morning Sept 18th... Usually around any release we'd be taking the songs on the road for a tour. I miss playing shows and meeting people around the country.
Go to quarantine snack:
Lots of beer.
What is keeping you happy?
Cats, dogs and videos on the internet of cats and dogs.
