Happy Record Store Day! This record is very special to me. It represents a time in my life when visiting the local record shop was one of the only ways I was able to hear about new bands. These bands were not on the radio or MTV, they were playing diy shows in living rooms, basements, and rec centers. To this day, when I visit record shops, I love talking with the shopkeeper for recommendations on their favorite new bands. Today I encourage you to go out and buy some records at your local shop. Talk with the people there. Explore new music. Make a habit of it.

As the days become shorter and the nights grow longer, the veil between the spirit and human world sheds its layers. In celebration of this opportunity to become closer with our spirits, fears, and dreams, I present to you the official music video for 'Ghost In Your Dreams.'  

Always, NYIKO

Love shows up when we least expect it. When it does, we may not even be ready for it. That is both the beauty and pain of love. In some ways, the memories of our lovers become the ghosts in our lives - a scent, a sound, or an energy that recalls that special person or time. Reflecting on this and to celebrate the spirit of Halloween, I wrote a new song. We also shot a music video for it which will be out a week from today. For now check out the new single, stay tuned in, and have a wonderful halloween.

Listen/Share/Enjoy: Ghost In Your Dreams

Always, NYIKO
