Phoenix’s By Storm, the duo consisting of former trio Injury Reserve’s RiTchie and Parker Corey, announces their debut album My Ghosts Go Ghost, out January 30th via deadAir. In an open letter to fans yesterday, By Storm detailed the new album and alluded to the full-length’s lead single ‘And I Dance’. LISTEN HERE + WATCH HERE.

‘And I Dance’ arrives with accompanying visual directed by Parker Corey. The new music video centres its focus on an emphatic performance from RiTchie, as the noise of the song and the strobes of the night prior, crescendo into the morning after.

RiTchie and Parker Corey first introduced By Storm as the new evolution of their decade-spanning creative partnership in 2023 with the initial offering ‘Double Trio‘. The song simultaneously honoured the legacy of their former trio Injury Reserve, which included the late third member Steppa J. Groggs, and naturally charted a new musical path forward for the pairing as a duo.

Over the course of a couple one-off releases (‘Zig Zag‘ and ‘In My Town‘), they laid the groundwork for the exploratory nature of their sound as, “By Storm”. While the album is technically By Storm’s debut record, My Ghosts Go Ghost signifies the continuation of a creative journey for RiTchie and Parker that spanned a decade as Injury Reserve, continually learning more about themselves through the process of releasing music whether as Injury Reserve, By Storm or as solo artists.

“This past decade we built our identity and every record has been us figuring out more about the kind of band we want to be,” explains RiTchie. “That doesn’t change.”

In 2019 when an impromptu DJ set in Stockholm went awry, RiTchie and Parker had to improvise — they revisit that spirit on My Ghosts Go Ghost. The duo returned to the basics, with their new musical identity solidified, to craft nine resolute songs that embody this new era. They debuted material at various stages of completion from the album across shows in Phoenix, London, LA, and New York throughout 2025, unlocking the album’s sound in real time and would utilise live audience feedback throughout the creative process.

By Storm’s debut is the manifestation of that time spent tinkering and refining not only the music itself, but RiTchie and Parker’s idea of what it means to close a creative chapter and open a new one. Here the sharp realities of RiTchie’s songwriting collide with the abstract, unpredictable minefields of Parker’s production. My Ghosts Go Ghost doesn’t trouble itself with the duo’s past, and instead focuses on the present and future with respect to the lessons and memories made along the way. Addressing loss, new fatherhood, capitalism and the swaying balance of life experiences.
