The Untitled Interview #174 – SXSW Edition: Starring Spectrals

When I hear the word spectral, I think of ghosts. As it happens, there's something almost ghostly about the music of Louis Jones, otherwise known as Spectrals. Shades from the 50s and 60s float in and out of Spectrals songs, like faded photographs of soc hops and bonfires and princess telephones. Altogether appealing, Jones has his finger on the pulse of something very much alive, rooted in years past as it is. Nearly done with his SXSW visit, Jones had the following to say about festivals.
