Disco and Depeche Mode with a little LCD thrown in...

Holy Ghost!

I'm definitely not complaining, but lately it seems everything new is old again..."old" somewhere between The Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode in all their glorious 80s sound.

On their self-titled album (just released today on Amazon's MP3 store) Holy Ghost sound like they've come to town just to party, even if there is a little bit of anger and angst thrown in the mix, with some LCD Soundsystem for good measure.

All of the tracks sound pretty darn good to me, but the best one (and what would  probably be the most sizzling on the dancefloor) is "Some Children." I couldn't believe it when I heard Michael McDonald's voice join in, but he sounds very hip here and his always soulful sound is most certainly welcome!

Well, that it's for now...Holy Ghost is too good not to get up and dance to! The opening track "Do It Again" is exactly what you'll want to do when you've finished listening the first time.
