Next to nothing is known about Ghost Lights. The project is based in France, they have a great cover art (by the Svelt Studio) and play post-rock with their own, unique approach. And they have just released their debut to say hi to the whole world with.
The characteristic trait of Ghost Lights' music is how eager they are to combine heavy guitar sounds with very electronic keys as proved to be successful by the likes of Nordic Giants. The keys sound brilliant while being accompanied by heavy sometimes very heavy guitars and tumultuous drums. And when the project wants to go towards more peaceful, atmospheric music, the backgrounds are occupied by synth soundscapes with guitars dancing in front of them. This is what the first part of "Les Cendres" looks like, although it does transform into a rapture and chaotic guitar/drums noise.
The short album is definitely one of the best post-rock releases this year. The thing that catches attention is the unique way of composing instrumental tracks, the ever-changing pace and, first and foremost, the keys. Waiting for more!
"Les Cendres" costs whatever you want to pay.
