In 2023 RiTchie and producer Parker Corey introduced By Storm with “Double Trio,” an impassioned and atmospheric first single that both honored the legacy of their former group Injury Reserve and opened a new lane towards the future. “S**t gon’ repeat if all you do is delay” RiTchie rapped on the track, underlining the momentum constantly pushing the rapper/producer duo forward. ‘My Ghosts Go Ghost’ continues that trajectory, arriving almost by surprise but with maximum impact.
‘My Ghosts Go Ghost’ is an album that is simple in its construction yet dense enough to get lost in. Created with a back-to-basics mantra, the album deals with themes of loss, fatherhood, capitalism, the weight of experience, and moving past difficult experiences. It is both a debut album and the continuation of a journey RiTchie and Corey started ten years ago when they first began making music in Phoenix.
An off the cuff DJ set in Stockholm, Sweden in 2019, improvised when technical issues meant performing live was impossible, acted as the blueprint to unlocking the sound of the album. Debuting new material in that environment was both fun and freeing for the pair, who tested multiple ‘My Ghosts Go Ghost’ tracks in various embryonic stages at shows in Phoenix, London, L.A. and New York throughout 2025.
By Storm, with their experimental approach and eclectic sound, are one of rap’s great outliers.
