ghostplay · Tune In
ghostplay is an experimental ambient electronic rock band based in Sacramento, California, built around the husband-and-wife duo of Jason and Leticia Hess with rotating drummers. Their sound blends ethereal ambient textures with a "surf noir" aesthetic — lead-guitar hooks, pulsing basslines, and haunting atmospheric vocals that build cinematic landscapes. They released the debut EP "33" in 2015 via Noise Loves Audio and their first full-length, Zelpha, in 2024, produced by Monte Vallier (Ruminator Audio, San Francisco). Post-Punk.com described Zelpha as "an existential collage of dream pop and experimental rock." ghostplay has been covered repeatedly by Sacramento's Submerge Magazine.
