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) is the primary creative vehicle for Sean Ono Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl. Formed in 2008, the project serves as a sophisticated exploration of psychedelic pop, chamber folk, and avant-garde rock.
Their sound identity is defined by a rigorous attention to vintage production techniques and a shared vocal aesthetic that emphasizes tight, often unison or close-interval harmonies. While their early work was characterized by a whimsical, acoustic-driven folk style, their 2014 breakthrough 'Midnight Sun' signaled a shift toward a heavier, more expansive neo-psychedelic sound. This evolution placed them in conversation with contemporary acts like Tame Impala or Foxygen, while maintaining a distinct link to the baroque pop of the late 60s. Critically, they are noted for their high level of musicianship and their ability to balance intellectual, surrealist lyricism with accessible, melodic hooks. The band occupies a unique cultural space, bridging the gap between legacy rock royalty and the modern Brooklyn indie scene.
