GHOSTS

Frequency Drift's Ghosts shows them honing and polishing the style which would come up trumps on ...Laid to Rest, and is an enjoyable listen in its own right. Once again, folky influences come weave in and out, though perhaps with a little less Arabic influence than on sequel album ...Laid to Rest, and once again there's a soundtrack quality to proceedings which lend things precisely the sort of cinematic air the band claim to be going for. Antje Auer's vocals and violin are once again a major draw, helping elevate the album to a high standard. Of the two, I think I mildly prefer the sequel, though the two form a nice complementary pair and if you like the followup you won't be too badly disappointed with this one.
