Holy Ghost! "Wanted To Tell Her" About Their New Ministry Cover

Refitted with the Bruce Lee of slapping bass lines, searing synth riffs, and inspired guest vocals by The Juan MacLean and LCD Soundsystem's Nancy Whang, Holy Ghost!'s amped up rendition of the 80's dark disco smash is painfully groovy -- as in, you might

DFA Records has the market veritably cornered when it comes to compelling new artists in the ever-expanding umbrella genre of "nu disco", so it should really come as no surprise that the Brooklyn-based outfit pulled out all the heavyweights for a 21st century rework of iconic industrial synthpop granddaddy Ministry's first single, "I Wanted To Tell Her".
