This has been a big week for video debuts from a few of our favorite up-and-coming artists. On Tuesday we showed you Bonerama’s first video and today we’ve got the new clip from Chicago’s Van Ghost. Van Ghost’s debut album, Melodies For Lovers, features the tender yet intense songs of longtime Chicago music scene fixture Michael Harrison Berg. Rocco Labriola’s uplifting pedal steel licks mix perfectly with the gorgeous harmonies Berg lays down with vocalist Jennifer Hartswick on each Van Ghost original.
Our first taste of Melodies For Lovers is a single called Summer Promise that sounds equal parts Oasis, CCR, Wilco, Moonboot Lover and The Byrds. Van Ghost worked with the talented Wiggle Puppy Productions team to create the perfect visual for this catchy tune. Let’s take a look…

I love Van Ghost, this band is freaking awesome! The way that the voices of Michael Berg and Jennifer Hartswick sound seperate are awesome, and when their voices are combined together they create this beautiful melody that is so finominal one cannot describe it with words, add in the instrumentals and need I say more… GO VAN GHOST! GREAT JOB!
Van Ghost is one of the best bands coming out of the Chicago music scene. See them at a small venue while you can, because it won’t be long before they are filling large theatres.
