What does The Slow Death’s Jesse “Pretty Boy” Thorson love about “Little Ghost”?
“This is my absolute favorite song to play on the album! It is fairly simple, and you can just beat your guitar up completely and it sounds awesome.”
Sounds awesome to us!
The premiere song comes off No Light to See (out on April 11th), the 5th studio album from The Slow Death, and by far their most artistically sweeping and impressive with its smart hooks, soaring guitar leads, powerful drumming, and lyrics that’ll make you cry sung by a wild man who can’t quiet the howling of the ghosts in his head, and is weighed down by the bleakness burdening everyone around him.
The Slow Death is Jesse “Pretty Boy” Thorson’s most prolific project which has a lineup that’s always evolving, and this album’s tough hard working crew with Jack Gribble on drums, Luke Lechler on organ/guitars, and the bonus of Alex Bammel sprinkling some incredibly clever guitar leads on in the studio is hard to beat. No Light to See feels like an eerily special record that will speak volumes to anyone feeling like an outsider in these insane times, and remind us that while we’re all out there on our own, we’re shoulder to shoulder in solidarity.
No Light To See is being released by Don’t Sing Records, a new independent record label formed by Jesse Thorson and his wife Annie Sparrows. Pre-order the record at Anxious & Angry.
