This is why it’s essential that you subscribe to this podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you consume fine podcasts. This is the Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 14 – The Ghost Is Clear Records!

What started out as a way to help a few friends put out a few albums has now blossomed into one of the most interesting labels in noise rock! The Ghost Is Clear records is essentially Bobby Johnson (of the band Canyons) and Brian Dooley (of Tigon), two dudes who love everything aggressive, ugly, and indie. Jon and Coop had the opportunity to hang with Dooley and Johnson to discuss their distorted machine.
