video premiere: take a spirited ska/hip-hop/punk adventure through gritty seas in lowdown brass band’s “ghost town” ft. the dread

Fresh off their appearance at The 2017 Chicago Jazz Festival, Lowdown Brass Band joins fellow Windy City outfit The Dread for a “true Chicago collaboration,” with interpolation originally from a song created by 80s ska group The Specials in the new single “Ghost Town.” With an original arrangement and lyrics by Billa Camp, “Ghost Town” is a spirited ode to gritty cities with the perfect blend of influences.

Shot entirely on iPhones on a fishing boat in Cordova, Alaska, the video captures the high-energy spontaneity Lowdown is known for. In their first night in Cordova, the band the owner of the boat who offered it as a way to see this amazing part of Alaska, and a subsequent jam session quickly turned into a spur of the moment video shoot for “Ghost Town.”
