“Haunting…but in the most vibrant way possible!” 4 / 5 (Anika Luna, Triple J Unearthed) [About ‘Don’t Talk About It’
“Don’t Talk About It firmly snapshots Super Ghost’s diverse genre sensibilities, stretching the indie rock trope into slinky and lush territory.” (Hysteria)
“Built off a foundation of indie rock, the pair of Hudson MacMahon and Alexander Shoesmith aren’t afraid to colour outside the lines, adding elements of ‘crisp indie-pop undertones, surf-rock swells and elements of spaghetti western sauve’ to the mix.” (Scenestr)
“Rising from the Gold Coast, the sound of their dreamy undertone, dissolved by a propelling energy, mediates the lasting impression of Super Ghost.” (Good Call Live)
“Super Ghost have nailed a particular vibe on Waiting List” (AAA Backstage)

Super Ghost, the dynamic trio known for their genre-bending indie rock, have released their latest single ‘Complacent’ today (Fri day, August 25). As their third single this year, following the success of tracks ‘Friendless’ and ‘Don’t Talk About It’, ‘Complacent’ is an introspective journey that solidifies Super Ghost’s distinctive musical style.
With an innovative blend of niche genres like Midwest emo and accessible indie rock, the band seamlessly crafts a highly polished and emotionally resonant sound. Navigating the complex emotional landscape of complacency, their new single invites listeners to reflect on moments when familiarity holds them back from pursuing a more fulfilling life.
Infused with bittersweet undertones, the energetic melody draws on Alexander Shoesmith’s personal experience of leaving a stagnant job, delving into the inner struggle of embracing change and growth. Fittingly, Shoesmith takes lead vocals on the track, showcasing his velvety, grounded vocal tone, perfectly complementing the intricate melodies.
Shoesmith shares, “Complacent is a heartfelt reflection on those moments in life when we find ourselves stuck in the comfort of the familiar, even if it’s far from fulfilling. This song allowed me to express the mixed emotions of nostalgia and regret while also igniting a spark of hope for a better future.”
‘Complacent’ effortlessly weaves intricate guitar riffs with gracefully chanted vocal deliveries, creating a harmonious blend that – although technically complex – feels easy and approachable. The song’s dynamic tempo and time changes alongside spacious bridge sections, complete with reverb-drenched guitar shimmer and distant horn parts, capture the essence of the band’s unique musical identity. The melancholic track allows space for introspection while bursting with a bright, hopeful energy that motivates one to get out of a complacent rut.
Super Ghost’s music is a poignant reminder that even amidst life’s challenges, there is always the possibility of growth and transformation. As the lyrics resonate with the struggles faced by many, the band creates an anthem for breaking free from complacency and embracing a more meaningful life.
With their compelling storytelling and seamless musical fusion, Super Ghost continues to carve their niche style in the indie rock scene. ‘Complacent’ promises to be another powerful addition to their growing discography.
Get out of a rut with Super Ghost’s ‘Complacent’, out now on all major streaming platforms.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
