about
"New Ghosts' music... ...proves to be the perfect soundtrack as Chicago's winter drags on and on. Songs like "The Deep Freeze" and "Blue Night," have an icy vibe, the group layering shimmering guitars atop frontman Andrew Moir's low-key vocals. There are definite elements of shoegaze and British pop (the group cites Echo & the Bunnymen, British Sea Power and Elbow among its influences) in the trio's music, which might explain why it seems to attract so many overseas fans." - Andy Downing, Chicago Tribune "The sound of this Chicago based Trio fits perfectly to grey and dark mornings or evenings – apart from the walls of guitars which are used in the shoegaze-genre, there are also hints of post-rock and epic wave sounds comparable to the Chameleons" -Coast Is Clear Blog "New Ghosts are from Chicago and create epic, atmospheric music. "Evoking British bands like Echo and the Bunnymen, the Church, and Chameleons UK, New Ghosts blends jangly, echoing walls of guitar with haunting vocal melodies." These are orchestral tunes with shadows of shoegaze riding thru the post modern mist. Beautiful music!" -www.marsneedsguitars.com User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
