The Ghost is Dancing - The Darkest Spark
Comparisons to the Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene have dogged this indie-rock collective. Mind you, it’s not bad company to be in. And it’s easy why the comparisons keep coming up. TGID’s sound leans heavily on trumpets, violins, organs and almost evangelical sing-alongs.
