Crumbling Ghost return with their new album, Four.
Composed of John Mosley (guitar), Donny Hopkins (guitar), Ruth O’Loughlin (bass), Katie Harnett (vocals), and Matthew Atkins (drums), Crumbling Ghost is a blend of traditional folk and stoner rock.
An ominous hum runs throughout Four, with tales of murder ballads, creating an atmosphere of horror folk without the theatrical fluff. Doom and dread with a psychedelic edge that’s uniquely Crumbling Ghost. Vocalist Katie Harnett shares:
“Doting mothers, possessive, violent partners, vulnerable women, seasonal workers and Royal scandals this album is our representation of the trials and tribulations of human existence and universal experiences that still feel relevant today, an interpretation of traditional tales along with original compositions presented in our own Crumbling Ghost style.”
Guitarist John Mosley adds:
“Themes of murder, betrayal, loss, jealousy, and love are found across the record. In particular, the songs of Martin Carthy have been a particular source of inspiration.”
