Cherry Ghost - Beneath This Burning Shoreline (320) (2010)



















I haven't as of yet heard Cherry Ghost's debut record, but after listening to this one I won't be wasting any time in checking it out. This is a very mature-sounding record, similar in sound to a band like Tindersticks or The National: an indie, post-punk tinged chamber pop record. And it's very awesome. Simon Aldred's voice fits these songs like a glove, and the production brings everything together--not lo-fi, but definitely not clean, either, a bit raw. Definitely one of the top albums of the year, and I have a feeling this one will continue to grow on me as I delve deeper into the songwriting.
