Sanders Bohlke "Ghost Boy"

Sanders Bohlke's newest album, Ghost Boy, has been universally praised as a work of art that commits to layers of soundscapes containing flourishing elements of folk, indie-rock, and soulful vocals. It has drawn comparisons to artists like Andrew Bird and Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s, and caught the attention of everyone from the editors of YouTube to fans of live music everywhere. Currently on tour with Rachel Yamagata, Sanders is continuing to promote Ghost Boy, and we’re certain that the new version of this video will harden existing fans around Sanders, and convert any last hold outs into his camp!

The new “Ghost Boy” video plays out like a haunted version of Cowboys and Indians. It begins peacefully enough with a Native American mother and child going about their business in the wilderness when they are happened upon by a pair of cowboys riding in from the horizon. After a brief staredown the young boy shows his courage and leaps out to protect his mother, only to be shot dead by the callous cowboy. His mother meets a similar fate. Around the campfire the two men appear at odds about the days’ events. For those wondering if they’ll get a glimpse of Sanders, keep your eyes peeled, he’s the cowboy with the conscience! Later, after they retire, the shooter is visited in the night by a true “ghost boy” who is focused on vengeance for him and his family…..
