Only having played together for about a year, Brooklyn-based group Rocket and the Ghost are gearing up for the release of their first debut EP in Spring of 2013. Vocalists Kiyoshi Matsuyama and Lily Claire met outside a bar on the Lower East Side and started working together on music that same night. Their forthcoming six-song collection with full-band features an earthy female-male vocal harmonies and driving melodies. Influences range from Beach House to Simon and Garfunkel, with a sound that bounces from rootsy pop to mellow folk. The band will be playing at Brooklyn Bowl on December 4th with The Hollows and The Bottom Dollars. – Devon Antonetti
