Adam Hattaway & The Haunters Release New Single + Video 'Tommy Sees Ghosts'
Just months since the release of their Marlon Williams produced album High Horse, Christchurch's own Adam Hattaway & The Haunters are back with a new single and video, " Tommy Sees Ghosts," accompanied by b-side " Roadside Incident."
Recorded to 2' 16-track tape in an old wool-shed deep in the south of Aotearoa, Tommy Sees Ghosts features a haunting and hypnotic groove reminiscent of the band's earlier music, with one foot in the '70s Stones disco ditch, and a refined focus on vocals akin to their recent album. The band rolls along in a late-night, inebriated haze, threatening to go off the rails at all times but sticking together like glue.
Inspired by true ghost stories, Adam delves into the tale of Tommy who lives close to the wind, getting up in the middle of the night to wave buenas noches to friends or lovers, dead and alive. In the liminal space between waking and sleeping, he communes with the dead and does whatever he damn well pleases.
What does he want? Everything.
Accompanying the new track is an eerie music video by Hēmi Baker. We follow Hattaway portrayed as a noctule familiar and inspired by Miley Cyrus' ' Flowers ', as he dances through Melbourne's Abbotsford Convent.
Tommy Sees Ghosts/ Roadside incident are available on all major streaming platforms and BandCamp For more information and a listen, visit adamhattawayandthehaunters.com.

Miley Cyrus has ‘very large' polyp on vocal cord, fears surgery could change her voice
Miley Cyrus has a 'very large polyp' on her vocal cord but is 'not willing' to have it removed in case it changes her voice. The Flowers hitmaker explained the sound of her distinctive low-pitched voice is partly because of a growth and Reinke's Edema – swelling of the vocal folds because of fluid accumulation – and though the conditions mean she finds it 'extremely difficult' to perform, she doesn't want to have surgery in case she no longer sounds like herself afterwards. Speaking on Apple Music 1's The Zane Lowe Show, she said: 'I had the Reinke's Edema, which is something that is called, it's abuse of the vocal cords. And being 21 and staying up and drinking and smoking and partying after every show does not help. But also in my case, it does not cause it. So my voice always sounded like this. 'It's a part of my unique anatomy, this is what I look like. So I have this very large polyp on my vocal cord, which has given me a lot of the tone and the texture that has made me who I am, but it's extremely difficult to perform with because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights on. So even when I'm talking sometimes, at the end of the day I'll call my mom and she'll go, 'Oh, you sound like you're talking through a radio'. And that's how you know I'm really tired because it creates that ultimate vocal fry.
