RECOIL Review



Ghosts of the Great Lakes’ debut lingers with listeners long afterits last song. Eerie and ethereal entirely by design, this dark,sometimes-progressive/sometimes-straight-forward rock band dilutesthe last two decades of alt-rock until a harmonious haze looms overthe horizon. All too magically, it’s the intro to “First Kiss,”where things start to feel comfortably familiar, yet with just theright amount of nervous tension. Opener “Hope” and its echo effects,as well as guitarist Jeff Goodman’s vicious, Tool-rendered riff on“Cost To Me,” ascend expectations to that moment, but “Kiss” takesthe album over the plateau and it never falters through itsunforgettable finish. Ghosts will release Party March 28 at PapaPete’s in Kalamazoo and April 6 at Planet Rock in Battle Creek.
