The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger
Intricate psychedelic pop and chamber folk that feels like a Victorian curiosity shop. Swirling harmonies and vintage synths for deep-listening daydreamers.

The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (GOASTT) sounds like a technicolor daydream captured on vintage tape. It is music that feels both ancient and futuristic, blending the pastoral simplicity of 1960s folk with the expansive, swirling textures of neo-psychedelia. The interplay between Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl creates a sonic world that is lush, shimmering, and deeply immersive.
What sets them apart is their commitment to a specific kind of surrealism. Their songs are populated by strange creatures and philosophical inquiries, delivered through perfectly locked vocal harmonies that often blur the line between their two voices. The production is a treasure trove of analog warmth, featuring everything from fuzzy electric guitars to delicate glockenspiels and haunting mellotrons.
Start with the album 'Midnight Sun' if you want to experience their full, kaleidoscopic power. If you prefer something more intimate and stripped-back, 'Acoustic Sessions' showcases their songwriting craft and vocal chemistry in a much more vulnerable, candlelit setting.
The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger is an American-British band formed in 2008 by Sean Ono Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl. The couple have stated that they started the band as a way to spend more time together, and while they released a number of recordings and went on tours as a duo, they consider Midnight Sun, released in April 2014, their first real record. Their tour to support the release of the album in May and June 2014 included opening for Beck as he started the East Coast leg of his tour that year.
