Dugong Jr Shares Hypnotic New Single ‘Ghost’ Featuring Evangeline

Melbourne based multi-disciplinary creative Dugong Jr has shared his latest single, ‘Ghost’. The track features sugary vocals from fellow Melbournian artist, Evangeline, which are haunted by a whirling synth riding beneath the infectious beat.

On the new single, Dugong Jr explains, ‘My sound palette for Ghost was definitely heavily inspired by late 70’s early 80’s disco. I wanted to create something that was reminiscent of the sounds you might hear in an old Patrice Rushen or Parliament record, but with contemporary overtones. I knew I wanted a vocalist that was kind of dark but also playful with their lyricism, so I reached out to Evangeline cause that’s totally her lane’.
