Farewell Dear Ghost (AT)
This indie-pop band from Vienna appeared less than five years ago as a project of Philippe Szalay, who previously acted as a songwriter. Their single named The Fire from their debut album had immediately taken the lead at the FM4 radio charts, and finished in ninth place in 2013. The band had supported for The Naked and Famous, appeared at the Waves Vienna festival and begun to perform in Germany as well. Two years later, they performed several sold out concerts in China, and last year, they had a European tour alongside Nada Surf (US). Their music is largely appreciated for the breadth of positive feelings, ranging from euphoria and determination to joy and satisfaction, which together always put the listeners in tune.
