The album Ghost by Radical Face, is not necessarily treading new ground, but what it does, it does very well. Ghost is aptly named, for all the tracks seem to be connected by a recurring theme of old haunted houses and ghosts. Nearly all of the tracks evoke childhood memories from the places you grew up. Consequently, listening to this album makes wherever you are at right now feel just that little bit more homely, and certainly not in a plain way.
Perhaps I just relate really well to this record since I am at that point in my life where I no longer have a home. Though I live in a house, it is oft empty and dark, much like the houses revisited in this album. Makes me wish I lived in a time where you had one home that was central to your whole childhood. Now it feels like a house is just a house, no matter the location or the contents.
Regardless, Ghost is a pleasant trip down memory lane. The gentle explosion into the chorus of "Welcome Home, Son" is moving, "Wrapped In Piano Strings" is an addicting and standout song, and the album comes to a touching close with the track "Homesick". Simply a beautiful folk pop record.
