Mystery Skulls is an American indie pop/electronica act that originated in Dallas, Texas but now operates out of Los Angeles, California.[1]

History

The project was formed in 2011 by Luis Dubuc after his previous project, The Secret Handshake, was dissolved.[2] Dubuc initially announced the project on August 8, 2011 via the Mystery Skulls official Tumblr account, where he posted a video of the song Amazing.[3] He later followed this post with a five song EP on December 30, 2011.[4] Since then, Mystery Skulls has performed in cities across the country, signed with Warner Bros. Records, and has collaborated with noteworthy artists such as Brandy Norwood and Nile Rodgers.[5][6] Dubuc continues to perform shows across the country.

Chart history

  • Ghost (charted at 15 on the Billboard US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart)[7]

Videos

Several animated videos have been created for Mystery Skulls' songs by their fans. In October 2014, the YouTube user Ben Mangum, under the name MysteryBen27, released an animated video for the song "Ghost", which featured original characters and a plot heavily modeled after the Hanna-Barbera cartoon Scooby-Doo.[8] The video was immensely popular - as of May 12th, 2016, the video has 16 million views on YouTube. "Ghost" was Mangum's second video featuring Mystery Skulls music; his first was "Turntable Turnabout", which featured the Ace Attorney characters Phoenix Wright, Miles Edgeworth, Godot, and the Judge dancing along to the song "Money."[9] Magnum's third video, "Freaking Out," featured the same characters from "Ghost" and was released on April 15th, 2016.
