Ghosts - Musical Chairs

Ghosts' first impression is like Coldplay in clown suits

Single Review by Ally Brown | 10 Feb 2007
Single title: Musical Chairs
Artist: Ghosts
Label: Atlantic
There's nothing wrong with good pop music, or wanting to be popular. There's also nothing wrong with writing positive, upbeat music – but it's a high tightrope to walk with nothing but cheese below. Ghosts are BBC-tipped to be huge in 2007, but cross your fingers 'Musical Chairs' isn't blaring ten times a day from the radio you have to work alongside. Bouncy, nasal britpop, like the Bluetones but with a fuller sound, Ghosts' first impression is like Coldplay in clown suits. You know this game – run until the music stops. [Ally Brown]
Release Date: Out now.
Ghosts play Barfly, Glasgow on 22 Feb, Westport Bar, Dundee on 23 Feb and Tunnels, Aberdeen on 25 Feb. http://www.myspace.com/ghostsuk
