Caught a Ghost’s strain of vintage R&B – a soul-man-meets-machine aesthetic that marries organic instrumentation with elements of EDM – has been a work in progress for going on three years now. And on April 1, singer-songwriter-producer Jesse Nolan will have a full-length to show for it; “Human Nature” will be out via +1 Records. The album builds on last year’s “Nightworks” EP, with Nolan, drummer Stephen Edelstein and singer-percussionist Tessa Thompson (familiar for her roles in “Veronica Mars,” “Cold Case” and others) starting the party with horn-filled homages to the ghosts of Stax. In the new video for “Connected,” Nolan is his characteristic sharp-dressed man in search of a true connection, with Thompson the objection of his obsession/affection, only a daydream away.
