WL//WH Track Of The Day: GHOST PATTERNS “Run”

Track Of The Day Ghost Patterns

London-based Psychedelic Shoegazers Ghost Patterns, made of vocalist/guitarist and songwriter Terry Hale and drummer/percussionist James Walker, announce the pre-order (LP/CD & Digital) of the upcoming sophomore album “Mirror Image,” due on November 20th, with the second single in a row, “Run.”

Throughout the new album, the band continues to refine and enhance their multi-layered productions featuring shimmering guitars filled with reverb, abrasive heavy fuzz and other distorted psychedelic overtones. Added to the musical palette are playful electronic experimentations in the form of retro analogue keyboards, with vocals expressing an ethereal, otherworldly and at times, unsettling mood at its core.

About being afraid of getting one’s heart broken through a lens of running away, the song builds dense, lambent blankets of reflective, atmospheric guitar sounds juxtaposed with swells of distortion that persistently penetrate and stride over a magnetic, emotive vocal delivery.

“Run” steers onward with a plodding contemplative motion over a sturdy, hypnotic foundation of steady drums and humming bass lines, bathed in simmering droning, fuzz-laden textures, as thick, loud layers of guitar reverberate in and out with aching high, slung wails, stretching and warping into a whirling tapestry of excruciating edge around dreamy, expansive male vocals, stuck in wistful longing and dread.
