Cherry Ghost - Beneath This Burning Shoreline

Released: 05/07/2010 Heavenly
The Manchester group’s second album has a pertinent title given that the BP oil spill has dominated recent news. But that’s the closest Cherry Ghost get to political or environmental issues on this set of gothic indie ballads and anthems. For those who prefer raindrops to sunbeams.

MusicOMH“This way, my friends, Mercury nominations lie...” The change in direction has done Cherry Ghost a power of good. In a year already crowded with outstanding album releases, Cherry Ghost could well have released one of the best of the year...
