Our Take

As the cool autumn breeze settles in, there's nothing quite like cozying up with a cup of tea and the hauntingly beautiful melodies of The Bookshop Band's latest album, "That Ghost Belongs To Me." This trio of talented musicians has once again created a sonic masterpiece that will transport you to a world filled with whimsy and wonder.

From the opening track, "The Haunting of Hill House," it's clear that The Bookshop Band is not afraid to explore the darker side of storytelling. With hauntingly beautiful harmonies and intricate instrumentation, this album is a hauntingly beautiful journey through the minds of ghosts and ghouls.

Tracks like "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Ghostbusters Theme" showcase the band's ability to blend classic literature with modern pop culture references, creating a unique and captivating listening experience. The ghostly vocals of lead singer Emily Barker float effortlessly over the lush, atmospheric soundscape created by her bandmates Ben and Beth.

But don't be fooled by the supernatural themes - there's also a sense of levity and humor woven throughout the album. Songs like "Casper the Friendly Ghost" and "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" provide a playful contrast to the more eerie tracks, creating a perfect balance of light and dark.

Overall, "That Ghost Belongs To Me" is a spine-tingling journey through the unknown, a musical séance that will leave you spellbound. So grab a blanket, dim the lights, and let The Bookshop Band's ghostly tunes take you on a hauntingly good ride.
