Calgary’s Locomotive Ghost are doing something pretty innovative— writing four song EPs for each season of the year.
Their third effort, ‘Autumn’ is a really laid back affair featuring plenty of vocal harmonies and interesting arrangements.
The EP opens with the lilting Beatlesque “More Than I Could Ever Tell,” which is powered by a pop tinged piano that could come right off
of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Band until they have a quasi rapped verse near the end of the song.
The vocal harmonies are beautifully done throughout.
The second track ‘ Imperceptible’ is a little more upbeat and has a slightly, lilting Celtic feel which also sounds a little like more serious Bare Naked Ladies, but with a sweet, bluesy guitar solo.
The third track ‘ Equinox’ features more of those beautiful, relaxing harmonies and pure vocalization which reflect a cool Autumn breeze.”
The last song ‘At Least I’ll Know Tonight’ has hypnotic vocal harmonies reminiscent of the Byrds and even a flute.
