The Spooklights

Banjos and beats. Slide guitar and synth. Strange lights flickering in the woods. The Spooklights are what happens when Ozark tradition collides with homemade electronic wizardry. Ben Miller and Pat Kay — stalwarts of Midwest mountain music — soldered their roots to circuitry, creating a jangle-stomp time machine to explore hillbilly music from another dimension. Part folklore, part science fiction, their sound is familiar and otherworldly all at once: ancient, yet from some distant future.

The Spooklights' latest single, "Train on the Island" is streaming on all platforms. Their debut album, entitled MK Ultra, an homage to the original band name, was released on October 27, 2023.
