When he fronted the lamentably overlooked Mere Mortals, Axel Steuerwald fashioned tunes that seemed beamed across the Atlantic from Manchester and sprinkled with garage-rock fairy dust. His new quartet United Ghosts, founded with Sha Sabi, build on that approach — driving Euro dance rhythms, hazy guitar and synth textures and boy/girl vocals straight out of the jetstream. United Ghosts’ debut 7-inch, “Holes Into the Night,” is like a dream in fast motion, the kind of roll-the-windows-down psych-rocker you used to hear on the radio in 1990s, and would welcome today.
