Although it is no great feat to achieve great things when you are young and in a band; we have seen it before so many times, but it never stops being massively impressive and also slightly annoying in a ‘how the hell did you do that’ kind of way when a bunch of teenagers produce something incomprehensible to my tiny brain. Especially with an album as mature as ‘You Are Not Lost, You Are Here’. There are obvious Radiohead parallels to the wailing Norwich three-piece, but these tracks from These Ghosts are less depressing and more atmospherically uplifting in a moody post-rock kinda way than their super massive counterparts. The gentle moments of the album stick out for me, and ‘Rational Thinking’ and ‘The Way We Once Were’ seem to exhibit the depth of both the songwriting, and lead singer Calum Duncan’s emotive grain of voice in a much more compelling way. In fact ‘The Way We Once Were’ takes me back to that year of my life when Jeff Buckley ruled. There are lots more great songs on the album; ‘Breathe In/Out’, ‘Luna’, and ‘Human Error’ in particular, but I would wager that those aforementioned intimate, stripped down moments are where These Ghosts will triumph out of the East.
