Get It And Get Out
That Ghost has released a new ep entitled Get It and Get Out, which was self-released by Ryan and is limited to 100 copies.
In comparison to most of his repertoire, Ryan has taken a much noisier approach to these seven songs. I'd liken it to Ty Segall meets Link Wray, with a hint of The Seeds influence. It really is more of a noisy rock release. His previous releases have mostly featured mellow tracks (with a few danceable rock tracks here and there). With this ep, older rock and roll influences are much more evident.
When it comes to his vocals, I feel as though Ryan has expanded a bit. Before, you'd often hear lyrics being sung at a near whisper and there wouldn't be much venturing off. It seemed very safe (but still wonderful, nonetheless). The release of Young Fridays in 2008 saw a slight bit of "vocal venture", but now, hollers and higher pitches are being reached with more frequency.
So, in short, Get It and Get Out = a noisy, raw, old time rock release.
