Sorry Ghost - The Morning After
Pop-punk outfit Sorry Ghost, who hail from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, recently released their debut album, The Morning After. And damn! These guys are good.
Sorry Ghost
The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Jonathan Dolese at KonKrete Studios in New Orleans, LA. Props to Jonathan because the music is crisp and clean.
Sorry Ghost is made up of Daniel Anton (vocals, bass), Matt Polito (guitar, vocals), and Tyler Hernandez (drums, medical advice). Commenting on the album, the band says, “The Morning After is our debut full-length. Somehow the songs we wrote in our bedrooms while hanging out actually came together and formed something we're very proud of as a band. We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it.”
Encompassing 11-tracks, the album begins with “Bumper Cars,” opening on sizzling guitars exuding beaucoup energy and thick waves of metallic colors. I love the chugging bassline in this song, the popping drums with flat tones, and the tasty vocals.
“On and on with longer days / And now we go our separate ways / Memories we never made / Clear the space and on display.”
Sorry Ghost most definitely has it going on, churning out infectious pop-punk jam-packed with grand rhythms and impressive vocals.
Highlights include “Nose Dive,” flavored with tones reminiscent of Stroke 9, chock-full of sparkling accents and glowing vocal harmonies. In fact, Sorry Ghost’s harmonies are what set them apart. The drums on this track are superb, demonstrating finesse and proper stress.
“Condescending” travels on tight, gleaming guitars shimmering with actinic washes. Yummy vocals infuse the lyrics with just the right notes of angst, regret, and melancholy. I love the surging guitars and rumbling drums after the breakdown.
“She always told me / I was condescending / Just to let that / Be all we ever had.”
“Foundation” is another grand track rife with glossy pop-punk savors, wonderful vocals, radiant harmonies, and stellar drumming. Do yourself a favor and really listen to the drums on this track – excellent stuff!
On “Triangles,” the band kicks it into overdrive on the intro, followed by dropping down on the verses, and then ramps the harmonics up to steroidal-levels on the chorus.
Sorry Ghost most definitely has it going on, churning out infectious pop-punk jam-packed with grand rhythms and impressive vocals.
