Ghost Music - I Was Hoping You'd Pass By Here killing joke guitarist Waddy Wachtel and BernardSouthend quartet Ghost Music release their evocative debut album I Was Hoping Youd Pass By Here via Arlen on 19 January. They create careful, considered songs, weaving lo fi lullabies with gliding guitars and understated arrangements. Influenced by Silver Jews, Flying Nun and K Records, they explore themes of nature, love, loss and a melancholic English romanticism embellished with beautifully spectral melodies and executed with startling subtlety.
