I've known Zach "Baby Ghost" Ferguson and Josh Touchton for a considerable amount of time both collectively and individually. Zach has performed under the moniker 'Baby Ghost' which always evoked a sort 'nervousness' and 'angst' of harsh noises accompanied with layers of melodies buried underneath his assortment of gear, that is in my opinion what his live performances represented to me. Josh, on other hand begun his electronic transition as 'Virgin Flower', his main tool a small sampler which he used to create serene sounds that had a soft sunset like sound, accompanied to the sounds are his reverb drenched vocals. Prior to his involvement in the aforementioned project his music experience is long, National Diary being the most active and locally known. Together though, they are 'Game Show'. I can only describe their sound which they make utilizing an assortment of hardware
including: samplers, mixers, beat up casios, keyboards as a concoction of Chopped and Screwed (you know, the music you listen to when you're leaning) and Power Electronics accompanied by lyrics being rapped while under the influence of consecutive backwood blunts to the faces. These dudes are my boyz, so i'm repping them. You should too.
