Deleted Waveform Gatherings: Ghost She Said

Ghost She Said is the third album from the Norwegian psych-pop band indebted to the 60s and 70s. We reviewed their second album in April 2009 and this is more of the same, but better. Listen closely and you’ll hear traces of the Who, T-Rex, REM and Teenage Fanclub. If you like melodic guitar rock this will be straight up your tramline, from the T-Rexy, riff-heavy ‘Hate Waiting In Line’ to the almost parodic REM-like ‘What You Trying To Prove’ and the TFC-resembling ‘This House’, which has a similar line in epic guitar riffs. There’s more going on underneath though, with acoustic moments and a subtle suggestion of theremin on the title track. It’s a bit naughty to quote lyrics when their second language English is better than my first language anything, but 'Shaman’s Tambourine' has an odd point of view full stop: “god made a woman/ god made a man/ he sent the man to war now…left the woman at home, sweeping all the floors”. But otherwise it’s a strong set of psych-pop songs as long as you’re not expecting anything revolutionary.
