Interview with Handsome Ghost (Handsome Ghost Returns!)
We had the pleasure of interviewing Handsome Ghost over Zoom video!
Massachusetts duo Handsome Ghost announced their third full-length self-titled album out August 25th via Nettwerk. The announcement arrives with their new single \u201cLike You Lost Your Mind\u201d along with a music video directed by Nick Noyes.
Handsome Ghost\u2019s forthcoming album Handsome Ghost further cements the band in the alternative/indie space and is a beautiful body of work true to their authentic sound. At the same token, it\u2019s their most personally revealing album to date. The collection of songs touch upon the past, the good old days, the perennial ups and downs of not only being a musician but the trials and tribulations of adulthood. The record was born out of the pandemic, but its themes are universal and explore temporary happiness, fate, feeling out of sync, and mores crazy to do so.\u201d\u200b\u200b
Handsome Ghost released a trio of 2022 singles including \u201cFigure 8,\u201d \u201cHeaven Isn\u2019t Long For You,\u201d and \u201cNeptune.\u201d \u201cFigure 8\u201d is a darker effort from the band about a fictional day with Elliot Smith and pays homage to the artist\u2019s final full-length album of the same name. The dark lyrics and 90s-style electric guitar underpin the moody feeling of the track.
\u201cHeaven Isn\u2019t Long For You,\u201d which was accompanied by Nolan Englund\u2019s directed music video, sets the tone with a delicate twang, layers of mandolin tracks, and acoustic and electric guitars that are perfectly tailored for a campfire sing along. On the narrative home front, \u201cHeaven Isn\u2019t Long For You\u201d bleeds into a diaristic tone, lyrics woven with the idea of an idyllic habitat that seems so close yet couldn\u2019t be further away.
Handsome Ghost reemerged in late last summer with the release of \u201cNeptune.\u201d Powered by clean guitars, hushed vocals, and a plush ambience, the recent offering is sonically pieced together seamlessly and effectively. While intricately crafted arrangements and peaceful textures contribute to the song\u2019s alluring grasp, its lyricist Tim Noyes\u2019 delicate portrait of an enigmatic woman that keeps you sticking around.
