Our Take

Ah, John Metcalf – the man, the myth, the legend! Or, at least, that's what we're supposed to believe based on his latest album, "Paradise Haunts." This collection of tunes is like a rollercoaster ride through a haunted house – you never quite know what's lurking around the corner.

From the hauntingly beautiful melodies to the spine-tingling lyrics, Metcalf has truly outdone himself with this record. It's like he's taken a trip to the underworld and brought back a souvenir in the form of music. Each track is a glimpse into a different dimension, where ghosts and ghouls mix with catchy beats and toe-tapping rhythms.

The standout track has to be "Ghosts of Paradise," a chilling ode to lost love and forgotten dreams. Metcalf's haunting vocals are enough to send shivers down your spine, while the eerie instrumentation adds a layer of depth that is simply mesmerising.

But it's not all doom and gloom – there are moments of lightness and humour sprinkled throughout the album, like little bursts of laughter in a sea of tears. It's this juxtaposition of darkness and light that makes "Paradise Haunts" such a compelling listen.

So, if you're in the mood for something a little bit spooky, a little bit quirky, and a whole lot of fun, look no further than John Metcalf's "Paradise Haunts." Just make sure you keep the lights on while you listen – you never know what might be lurking in the shadows.
