I had heard a lot about this band and decided to give it a listen. Apparently Seahaven features a former member of Final Fight in the band. This band has no resemblence at all to Final Fight's melodic-hardcore attack. Instead Ghost sounds more like your usual indie/emo record. And it's a damn good one at that.
This is titled as an EP but it has 7 songs and they are all of a long length. I can't complain the longer the songs, the more insight I get into what this band is about. Soaring choruses, clean guitar passages jammed together with shimmering scales. Deeply personal lyrics sung with the power of the "hook" in mind. By track 5 the record begins to drag but then the next track, "Love" hits with it's catchy pop sensibilities and brings it back on track. Ghost is a very enjoyable listen. Im not really a fan of the artwork though. It seems like they were trying a little to hard to be different but really it's nothing we havent already seen . But that is besides the point. It's a great EP. If you are into Brand New or a band somewhere along those lines, this is for you.
