GHOSTED III APPROACHES

posted July 30th, 2025

With a near-complete trilogy on the horizon, guitarist Oren Ambarchi, bassist Johan Berthling and percussionist Andreas Werliin thrill us thrice more with Ghosted III, out August 29! Listen to the new single "Chahar" and check out their new music video, another dazzling production by Maximilien Luc Proctor.

As with "Yek," the first single off Ghosted III, “Chahar” presents looser, wilder interplay from Ambarchi, Berthling and Werliin. Ambarchi’s recognizable guitar tones and their eventual multiplicity almost overwhelm Berthling and Werliin’s stalwart strut. The dazzling ricocheting of tones and percussive strikes creates a steady roll of undulating beat variations — a startlingly funky dance from a trio more known for their slow burning drone-jazz. Maximilien Luc Proctor's music video frames the chaos around a bush that warps through the wind like an ocean tide, spiraling out of control as the track duplicates into a frenzy of tones.

Ghosted III builds off the furious group-think that 2022's Ghosted and 2024's Ghosted II, with a little more studio time booked and a lot more live dates played to fuel the jams. Great news for fans of stimulating variations of tone and mood within a potentially infinite universe of rhythm and sound! Ghosted III is out August 29, 2025.
