about

10 years on from The Young Ghosts Video Project, here are two versions of one of our favourite songs from that time, our debut single "I Was Good When I Was Young".

1. We've got a brand new mix of the track, put together after hunting the original stems down from a dusty old 8 track and a dodgy external harddrive. The 2011 mix was very blown out, massively distorted and sloppily mixed - it still kicks ass, but this new version hopes to bring some justice to the track, and uncover some sounds that were lost in the crush. There are no new elements on the remix, wanted to keep it as close to the feel of the original as possible. Had a lot of fun doing it, hope you enjoy xxxx

2. The second version is never before released, this is a recording of the song that was intended to be included on our first album, 2013's "I Want You To Destroy Me". Like most of the songs from that release, the bulk of the track's elements were recorded live and punishingly loud in the Sways Bunker, with some vocals and extra tracking for guitar added after. We never fully finished this version, as we fairly quickly came to the conclusion that it didn't sit with the bleak tone of the rest of the release. So we bring it to you here, rough and raw and blistering.

Love from the Old Ghosts
