Holy Ghost! Holy Ghost!
Holy Ghost! is an American synthpop duo from Brooklyn, New York City, consisting of Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel.
Millhiser and Frankel both grew up on the Upper West Side of New York City and attended elementary school together. They were later part of a hip hop group called Automato. Automato's debut album was produced by James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy of DFA. After the release of the album, Automato "kind of fell apart". However, Millhiser and Frankel kept working on music. Initially, it was going to be more hip hop work but decided to create music with vocals and poppier arrangements.
The name Holy Ghost! was selected just before the pressing of their debut single "Hold On" in November 2007. The single was described by Resident Advisor as "one of the dirtiest little Italo tunes you're likely to hear this year".
