Great Lakes: Ghost Brother
Great Lakes upcoming album Ways of Escape (October 12th, 2010) finds singer Ben Crum assuming the role of chief songwriter for the band’s 4th full length. Along for the alt-country tinged ride are a bevy of talented musicians from Mice Parade, Beiruit, Ryan Adams, and Ted Leo & The Pharmacists.
Crum brings a very frank and personal tone to the record, but Great Lakes retains its signature psychedelic edge, albeit a considerably mellower one. Ghost Brother is a perfect example of the album’s country roots fused with outstanding musicianship, all coming together for a warm, rich sound that would have been perfect in the 70’s.
For an alternate cut showcasing a different side of the new album, check out the beautiful and somber “Summer Fruit.”
