______________________________________________________

Imagine the Beach Boys meets Pink Floyd meets Elton John meets the Beatles meets the Flaming Lips meets Polyphonic Spree at a forest tea party hosted by Alice in Wonderland.
Get ready for anything from this psychedelic electronic orchestral pop trio -- including, but not limited to, personal injury and copious fog.
- Jennifer Chancellor, Tulsa World
Mondo bizarro Tulsa rock act Ghosts generates a sound that makes you feel the way you feel after too many Saturday morning cartoons and four bowls of Lucky Charms. Make that five. Make that while floating in space.
Ghosts is one of the most prolific bands of the bunch, having already recorded dozens of albums of their Elton-John-in-space rock, spawned out of late night beer-swilling and God only knows what else.
- Matt Elliot, Tulsa World
Musically, GHOSTS is a free-for-all. A stream of consciousness hodgepodge of all things: 70s dance rock and disco, stoner rock, Phish, Randy Newman, The Monkees, Spinal Tap and Rocky Erickson all rolled into one.
...Who else could mash up Queens of the Stone Age riffs and Chicago’s horn section and make it work?
I can’t even get into the details of "Ruxpin’s Pumpkin". Suffice to say that Wal-Mart probably won’t be carrying an edited version of a CD that chronicles the sexual exploits of a talking children’s toy.
- Gary Hizer, Urban Tulsa Weekly
