Everything here sounds stadium-sized, loved-up, and breezily inclusive. There's the lead single "Lights & Music", an arena rock slow burner with a disco chorus; or the superb, helicoptering house of 2007 single "Hearts on Fire", which gets a welcome reprise; or the sunburst rock of "Unforgettable Season", which recalls Broken Social Scene in its ability to sound in full swoon from chord one; or the carefree "Strangers in the Wind", whose lazy verse and torpid guitar peels owe a little bit to Fleetwood Mac. Elsewhere, "So Haunted" and "Far Away" compete for standout track status, the former sandwiching verses of fuzzy guitar squall around one of the most gorgeous-sounding choruses of the year, the latter an effervescent bit of 80s synth fluff that holds up against the best of Human League and Erasure. So yeah, you get the point: Pop lovers will find lots to love here, and if there's any justice, this record will keep them swooning through the summer. Regardless of what kind of audience it ultimately finds, though, In Ghost Colours earns its smiles with a combination of ingenuity and easiness that you don't often come by, and for that, even in April, it already feels like a triumph. I love this record. It's veryyy summery and just a good fun listen. Tim Goldsworthy has done an excellent job on production in cooperation with the band and there's real growth from their 2004 debut. Good fun!
May 17, 200817 yr Cut Copy, The Presets, Midnight Juggernauts, & PNAU are the exact reasons why Australia is currently where it's at when it comes to brilliant dance pop. :wub: :wub: Excellent album, all the songs blend so well into one another. Second favorite album of 2008 behind the Presets too!
May 17, 200817 yr Author The Presets' 2nd album is meh meh imo. It's so dense and stodgey, just can't get into it. Though Midnight Juggernauts, PNAU and Van She are all EXCELLENT. Modular are probably the best dance-orientated label out there at the moment. Such a brilliant rosta. Particularly love 'Embrace' by PNAU I must note too, Ladyhawke is ace and should hopefully do big things later this year.
