Light A Candle For The Lonely

by Ghost Work

supported by

Dave Miller It's rare that an album captures my ears so quickly and I found myself pressing repeat multiple times.. The progress as a band from the first album and demo's evident here with fantastic up tempo songs and driving melodies and great sonic production. Elements of the band members past works shine through here in different ways to create a fantastic showcase of sound.. One of the best for 2024 already !! Favorite track: Orange of the Flame.

Chris Gotta agree with everything Dave said. Had this on repeat since the record came in and don't see myself stopping anytime soon. Gonna do the reductive thing and compare to some other bands, but it's like if you smashed Sparta and Plosivs together. Make sure you listen to this with some great subwoofers to really feel those bass grooves Favorite track: Erase the Morning.

about

Even as past artistic endeavors come to a natural ending point, new inspiration can take root under the most trying circumstances. Ghost Work is a story of escaping cycles, the power of reconnection, and balancing the formative past with an unrevealed future. While time moved forward in fits and starts for the members of Ghost Work -- Sean Husick (Milemarker), Erin Tate (Minus The Bear), Aaron Stauffer (Seaweed), Dustin Perry (Snapcase) -- the urge to continue to create remained constant. At its core, "Light a Candle For The Lonely" is a meditation on the stark contrast between the natural beauty of our world and universe and the uncertainty and de-evolution that keeps us from celebrating it. But within that unpredictability, certain growth and constants provide steadier footing. "Light a Candle For The Lonely" is the search for the authentic in place of the synthetic; the gratitude, humility, and dedication that is paired with a concerted renewal; and the reverberating sound of an unexpected reawakening.

Ghost Work is a new band from current and ex-members of Seaweed, Minus the Bear, Snapcase and Milemarker. The band brings their unique styles along with various other post/punk influences. Anyone familiar with Aaron’s work w/Seaweed, Gardener and others will recognize his voice as it drops in over a haze of chiming/chirping guitars and driving rhythm section in album opener "Fake Blood." ... more

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
