Ghostly Times is a New York-based rock quartet who, just a few days ago, put out a rich and diverse EP that I have completely fallen in love with. Expanding their sonic palette while staying true to their rock roots, Ghostly Times offer up seven new tunes that showcase just how far the band have come since their 2017 debut ‘When All That’s Left Is Grey’.
‘Not Alone’ gets the ball rolling in a boisterous fashion, instantly setting the tone for the electrifying musical journey that lies ahead. Dynamic, powerful, superb! ‘In the Clouds’ then steps up to the plate with a more laidback and composed atmosphere, before the otherworldly ‘Split Seconds, Quick Lessons’ envelops the listener in a whirlwind of haunting melodies and introspective lyrics.
“We wanted to bring a raw and honest approach to this record,” said the quartet. “It was important that we steer away from the overproduced rock/post-hardcore sounds that we hear so often in other releases”.
Truthfully, I could go in-depth about the remaining four tracks on ‘MIRAGE’, but I’d feel like I’d be robbing you of the opportunity to discover them for the first time yourself. What I will say is that ‘MIRAGE’ is easily one of the best EPs I’ve heard in a while, and I couldn’t be more excited to share this musical gem with everyone!
Serious EP alert! Enjoy ‘MIRAGE’ on Spotify now:
