Hysterics, GhostPal, the MCFK Emergency Management Squad; Brooklyn-bred Oliver Ignatius has made music under all of these names, but never on his own. That is, until his new single “Light and Dark” (streaming below) dropped on the Mama Coco’s Funky Kitchen Soundcloud. The single is a big step away from his previous work (like the moody indie rock of Hysterics and the funk-twinged, experimental psychedelia of GhostPal.) It takes a soft and soulful turn, relying on mesmerizing harmonies and a simple, repetitive melody. He will be playing a solo live show at Pianos on August 12th. – Lilly Milman
