“Ghosts” by The Presets

"Ghosts" was the second single from Pacifica, the third studio album by Australian duo the Presets, and it arrived in 2012 on Modular. Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes wrote and produced it themselves, and it's a song about a young man slowly turning into an old one, which gives it a wistful undertow.

Kiel Egging of Music Feeds predicted its big wordless whoa-oh hooks would lodge in heads and spark huge singalongs at shows, though he warned that the deep voices closing out the verses might grate on some listeners and that it lacked the shine of "My People" or "Talk Like That". It went on to win single of the year at the 2013 Rolling Stone Australia Awards.
