Alt-electronic artist Must Be The Holy Ghost (AKA Jared Draughon) will release his sophomore EP Overflow on 9/16, but fans can hear the new record early on Soundcloud. The stream premiered at The Wild Honey Pie and includes six new tracks that were written while Draughon was touring the country.

"Performing them a bunch live helped me fine tune how I should build and loop the layers of each song and how the lyrics and melodies should be delivered in the studio," says Draughon. "It breathes more than previous releases and it's a better indication of what Must Be The Holy Ghost has become and how it's evolving."

A video for the EP's first single "Melt Down" can be seen here and showcases Draughon's signature live performance in which visual artistEvan Hawkins uses water and food-coloring on an overhead projector to bathe the show in swirling colors. Pre-order Overflow now on iTunes or get your hands on a limited-run vinyl version at http://www.cardiganrecords.com.

About Must Be The Holy Ghost: Must Be The Holy Ghost (MBTHG) is the latest vehicle for North Carolina's longtime sonic traveler Jared Draughon. Layered electronic rhythms fuse with thick looping guitars and soaring vocals, a sound both intricately crafted but with ever shifting landscapes.

After fronting touring bands in Brooklyn, NY and Chapel Hill, NC for the last decade, Draughon began his unorthodox approach to a solo project in 2012. MBTHG has since opened for various acts including The XX, Torche, Whirr, He is Legend, House of Fools and William Tyler.

Live MBTHG consists of Draughon on stage with various pedals and an array of different amps to build layers of guitar and vocals over tight drum loops. Within the limitations of loop music, Draughon manages to create unusually structured and complex songs with distinct movements, largely through his gift for melody. Impassioned vocals, often stacked in multiple harmonies, draw you into a world that is far from constrained by the underpinning loops. MBTHG often teams up live with analog visual psych artist Evan Hawkins to unfold a narrative bathed in swirling colors.

In 2014 Cardigan Records released MBTHG's debut album, “Get Off”, which showcases the loop-based art while still maintaining songs with emotional conviction. The follow-up EP Overflow will be released on September 16th.
