The lovely gang of Ghosts & Liars has added another notch upon their achievement belt. After a series of shows in and around the Seattle scene over the past several months, the Washington quintet has released a new song from a live performance.
"Down For The Count, Up For Anything," brings the slower, more deep and introspective side of Ghosts & Liars that one could only have anticipated they would open the lid on eventually. Chris Du Bray lays down the rythme with his acoustic guitar and unwinds the gentle lyrics as if it were second nature, while Rachel Bowman weaves and sews the song together in a beautiful twine of violin that presents a fair rival to someone like Sarah Neufeld or Sophia Trudeau.
"Down For The Count" strongly centers around Du Bray's emotional, though off-kilter brand of lyrics, which is almost monologue-based, sounding as if they were actually introverted, interior thoughts of the mind, or a letter sung to music. And you can detect the strong experience being drawn from previous songs from most of Ghosts & Liars previous musical endeavour, Some By Sea, with subtle references toward songs like "This Song Is Not About You, So Don't Ask," and "The Beginning of the World Often Comes," hiding somewhere in the darkness off-stage, in a way that can only be described as glorious.
Ghosts & Liars still have a few shows for those lucky fans in Kirkland and Centralia, Washington. Be sure to show up and give them tons of support! Can't make it? Support them on their Myspace, and be sure to check out their other songs. With the list of songs under their belt quickly growing, only good things can only be expected.
