The Jackobins 'Ghosts' EP








The Jackobins have released their new EP, 'Ghosts', for which I have been waiting patiently. 'Prussia', the fourth track on the album is the track I very first heard from these guys, and I have to say, I've been hooked ever since. This revised version is such a strong track and ends the four track EP epically.

The first track - The Otherside, is a lively little number with a great piano intro, followed by a steady drum beat which leads into great vocals. Singer Dominic, has an impressive vocal range, swooping from high to low notes effortlessly.

Second track - She Always Says, is a great indie dance number. Notable guitar and drum beats glide along smoothly, complimenting sublime vocals. The chorus is robust and has you chirping along within seconds.

The third track, Ghosts, is the title track to the album and their latest single. The piano intro mixed with haunting drums, guitar and backing vocals is stunning. The subtle guitar riffs and drums blend with the softness of the vocals, exploding at the chorus and reminding the ears that this is a classic indie tune.

I really recommend this EP, and I can't wait to see the energy and stage presence that accompanies it. Please make the effort to see these guys play live, because you won't be disappointed.
