Fresh on the heels of a sold-out run of shows, San Francisco band Geographer have announced the forthcoming release of Ghost Modern, the outfit’s first full-length since 2012’s Myth.
“I took a great deal of time crafting the songs for this album before arranging them,” said songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mike Deni. “Before blowing them out with swelling sonic textures that might override or overshadow the need to make the song—at its core—the most important thing.”
The album’s first single, “I’m Ready,” was actually the last of 12 songs written for Ghost Modern. The track’s clear, distinctive vocals make it immediately distinguishable as Geographer, but the slow build and layered instrumentals including strong percussion, sweeter sounding strings and a synthy undertone has us excited to see what the rest of the album will hold. Listen to “I’m Ready” in the player above. Ghost Modern is set for release on March 24 via Roll Call Records. http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/av/2015/01/song-premiere-geographer—im-ready-1.html
