These Ghosts – You Are Not Lost, You Are Here

This young Norwich trio which evolved from Vanilla Kick have released a superb debut album of sophisticated quirky alt-pop which deserves far more exposure than it is getting. They drew quite a crowd at last year’s Latitude festival and are working hard locally to get a bigger audience.

The album itself features 11 short and mid range songs with a high emotional content. Listen to ‘This is’ (how many takes did it take for the vocal hitch in “…and gold” to get on tape?) and ‘Breathe in/Breathe out’ for hints of Radiohead whilst the use of polyrhythms and faster paced delivery soaring over dreamy soundscapes in Luna or Cocoon.

The maturity of songwriting is quite astounding for such a young band and their confidence in going for a such a variety of approaches on the album rather than the more radio-friendly indie tendency of 2 arrangements x 5 songs is to be applauded.

One of the best releases of 2010 for my money.
