The Good News

(4 out of 5 stars)

""Psychedelic and Trippy" words commonly used to describe the musical offerings of Ghost of Monkshood. Yet, this album is more of a collection of very nicely crafted pop songs accessible to all with an open ear and love for fresh air.

Upon giving it a closer listen, you may find plenty to warrant the psychedelic label, but on the whole you find yourself trekking into a world of lush melodies that linger pleasantly on, awash in elements of folk and burlesque, walls of bass and percussion, and straight ahead rock laced with intricate vocal harmonies. The good news is, this may only be the prelude to the musical direction of a very talented and original group of musicians intent upon finding the groove in a road less traveled.
