FAREWELL DEAR GHOST had already earned quite a track record – from winning the Amadeus Austrian Music Award (in 2018) to airplay across Europe, prominent slots at festivals, tours through Asia (Korea, China) and Europe and so forth. Yet, after the successes of their debut "We Colour The Night" (2013), the wonderful EP "Skin" (2016, containing the ever young "We Were Wild Once") and the sophomore album "Neon Nature" (2018), it was time to take a deep breath - and a break. After a quiet phase, they started to reassemble, redefine and actually "find" the band that they truly are: The band that is enjoying making their music so much, it will get you eventually, purely by its love, authenticity and energy. "Nobody", their first release since 2018, carries a somewhat provocative anti-thesis in itself, some positive noise to break the melancholy and darkness that seems to have taken over the world quite recently. Although this isn’t a comeback, Farewell Dear Ghost return louder and rawer than ever with their EP "Conditional Panic". It’s a vulnerable statement packed into an electrifying wall of sound. It’s honest and direct and all about the emotion of a song, not the technique. The four songs of the EP drift between casual nonchalance while questioning and deconstructing a traditional sense of masculinity and all the insecurities attached to it. For an anxious mind there’s always a reason for panic ... but who says you cannot celebrate that while trying to figure yourself out?
