Ghost Water is the musical pseudonym of Los Angeles artist Kris Chen, named it in reference to, as she puts it, “the ephemeral nature of water”.

Kris was born in China and grew up studying piano and music theory, a background which would prove valuable as a growing array of influences inspired her to begin seriously crafting her own music.

In 2021 she released the self-titled album Ghost Water, and in 2023 the single Sleeping Schedule. Driven by atmospheric arrangements and hypnotic cadences, Kris’s music plays as hauntingly and elusively as the title of her project would suggest.

Currently Kris is hard at work completing a second full-length, soon to be released on Llama Records. This upcoming album originated from a vivid and immersive dream she had several years prior. Describing this experience, Kris says, “I was transported to a place where colors, textures, and energies were extra vivid and abundant. I could touch anything I saw. My wish with these songs is to translate that dream into musical notes and transport the listeners to a similar place.”
