The Acorn – No Ghost

  • July 23, 2010

Canadian indie folk band The Acorn dropped their new record No Ghost earlier this summer, the much-anticipated follow-up to 07s highly acclaimed Glory Hope Mountain about band lead Rolf Klausener’s Central American mother. Recorded at an isolated cottage in Northern Québec a year ago and finished in Montreal’s Treatment Room Studios (Plants & Animals), No Ghost moves away from the highly personal stories on Glory Hope Mountain towards guitar driven experimental soundscapes that feature expansive arrangements and swathed in feedback. No Ghost lays Klausener’s smart lyrics over acoustic and electric grooves and accented by flute, trumpets, and strings, capturing the free spirited vibe of their live shows. At its heart, No Ghost is richly textured indie-folk done right. – Written by JFelton
