Massachusetts duo Handsome Ghost announced their third full-length self-titled album out August 25th via Nettwerk. The announcement arrives with their new single “Like You Lost Your Mind” along with a music video directed by Nick Noyes.
Handsome Ghost’s forthcoming album Handsome Ghost further cements the band in the alternative/indie space and is a beautiful body of work true to their authentic sound. At the same token, it’s their most personally revealing album to date. The collection of songs touch upon the past, the good old days, the perennial ups and downs of not only being a musician but the trials and tribulations of adulthood. The record was born out of the pandemic, but its themes are universal and explore temporary happiness, fate, feeling out of sync, and mores crazy to do so.”
Handsome Ghost released a trio of 2022 singles including “Figure 8,” “Heaven Isn’t Long For You,” and “Neptune.” “Figure 8” is a darker effort from the band about a fictional day with Elliot Smith and pays homage to the artist’s final full-length album of the same name. The dark lyrics and 90s-style electric guitar underpin the moody feeling of the track.
“Heaven Isn’t Long For You,” which was accompanied by Nolan Englund’s directed music video, sets the tone with a delicate twang, layers of mandolin tracks, and acoustic and electric guitars that are perfectly tailored for a campfire sing along. On the narrative home front, “Heaven Isn’t Long For You” bleeds into a diaristic tone, lyrics woven with the idea of an idyllic habitat that seems so close yet couldn’t be further away.
Handsome Ghost reemerged in late last summer with the release of “Neptune.” Powered by clean guitars, hushed vocals, and a plush ambience, the recent offering is sonically pieced together seamlessly and effectively. While intricately crafted arrangements and peaceful textures contribute to the song’s alluring grasp, its lyricist Tim Noyes’ delicate portrait of an enigmatic woman that keeps you sticking around.
