An album of reverent fantasies and atmospheric ballads, their dreamlike world is one you’ll be reluctant to wake from.
The experiments cannot, however, disguise the static production or the melodramatic and sentimental lyrics, whose nice imagery is few and far between.
In Ghostlike Fading shows a group still admirably ready to open up for arena bands or play early daytime shifts at festivals.
Sadly, moments of well executed originality are thin on the ground, as indeed are examples of the band effectively channeling the transcendental shoegaze of their established contemporaries.
