Ghost Music- I Was Hoping You'd Pass By Here
Fans of the bedrock era of 90s indie rock with torchbearers like Galaxie 500, Silver Jews, or Built to Spill will relish in the dreamlike, lulling, strummed guitars, the craggy, simple, and beautifully unhinged solos behind the numbing, guileless vocals of Ghost Music's debut record, I Was Hoping You'd Pass By Here.
Matt Randall and Lee Hall's carefully simple arrangements are primitive indie rock lullabies that perpetuate with a slow pulse across the forsaken love songs and tales of derelict relationships. Pulled together from songs written 20-odd years ago and collaborations writing for their previous group Beatglider, the album is a refreshing and invigorating dose of candid and nostalgic indie rock songwriting free from any attention-seeking or one-upmanship.
