In this episode, Alex is joined by music journalist and writer Rob Hakimian (contributor at Clash, DIY and Quietus, and co-founder of online publication Beats Per Minute) to contemplate the spectral character of memory. They talk about how themes of ghostliness and memory have often gone hand in hand across the arts, from music to film to literature. Alex explains how memory influenced the latest Holy '57 single 'Hyper-real' before showcasing his 'ghosted' version of the song.

'Spectres' is set to an original soundtrack of evolving, otherworldly music - all brand new compositions by Holy '57 for the podcast.
