Cherry Ghost - Thirst For Romance (V0) (2007)




















This is the Cherry Ghost album that does it for me--as much as I love their newly released Beneath This Burning Shoreline, their debut is just slightly more polished. To me the tracks overall are stronger and it's more consistent than the follow-up. Sonically, you're not going to notice much difference--same semi-lo-fi, country-tinged, British indie music. Simon Aldred's vocals are still strangely hypnotic and his lyrics, once given time to be absorbed, help give the songs a depth that may not be immediately apparent.
