Following a cease and desist letter from a recently reunited Chicago, IL band of the same name, Greensboro, NC's Future Ghosts have changed their name to Unifier. The band will be releasing Colorado on Autumn + Colour and Round Kid Records on February 12.
The band offered the following statement concerning their name change:
Due to the unfortunate events surrounding the name Future Ghosts in the past week, we have elected to seek out a new name and brand for ourselves. We had originally hoped to come to some sort of understanding in a timely manner that would allow us to retrieve our sites and move forward. However, it became clear to us that there would be no quick or easy resolution, and also seemed apparent that we would not be taken to court over the issue.
