Paperback Ghosts, by Comet Gain
Another engaging chapter by the British indie folkies
With Comet Gain's seventh album, Paperback Ghosts, the British indie-pop band stays true to its soaring folk and soul melodies with honest, straightforward lyrics.
The album was inspired by the changes of autumn — specifically, through walks around North London woods. The band says the album is also about ghosts, the gauzy, haunting specters of past loves.
The easygoing “Long After Tonite’s Candles Are Blown” sets the tone, with vocalist David Feck praising the good things in life, but he soon segues into a realization that “heaven is a lie.” His youthful vocals are delicate and pleading but also reveal a vivid level of sadness with lines like, "My map of the universe is your haunted heart."
The melody of the homegrown and organic "Sad Love and Other Short Stories" plays with emotional heartstrings that add a touch of drama. And by “Wait ’til December,” with its soft, country touch and the frosty edge in Rachel Evans’s voice, you’re aware that time has slowed.
“The Last Love Letter” nurtures a pretty duet and harmonies, and “Behind the House She Lived In” hearkens memories of childhood and first love. The upbeat “Breaking Open the Head Part 1” shows the band’s rebellious punk side, while “(All the) Avenue Girls” channels early R.E.M.
With influences such as the Byrds, Velvet Underground, the Dexys, and French New Wave, Comet Gain deftly combines those touches with Riot Grrrl and lo-fi styles, lacing emotions throughout the album and exposing the gray areas between love and its harsh realities.
