Despite the creepy Victorian era album cover, the songs on this album are just so light and airy and dreamy and beautiful. my fav album of all time. rock/folk from the very early 2000s. a masterpiece.
perfect for driving around on a sunny day (or a gloomy day, or nighttime), taking a walk, cleaning, literally anything. this album makes my life feel cinematic when I’m listening, no matter what I’m doing <3

Every few months I find a Mark Kozelek song that becomes the only song I want to listen to for weeks. First it was Micheline, then Carry Me Ohio, then Ben’s My Friend, and now this. Idk what he puts in these song man

I remember begging my Mum to pre-order this album for me, to add to my chronological collection of Coldplay albums (I had found the majority of them in charity shops.)
Sonically, Ghost Stories was a major shift from their previous release, Mylo Xyloto, which featured stadium belters like Paradise and Princess of China. Mr. Martin was going through his "conscious uncoupling" with Paltrow, and let's just say it really showed.
I love how contemplative this record is, it's pure yearning. Choir vocals washed in reverb accompanied by lowly strummed guitar and 808's that feel like catching a chill at the nape of your neck.
If you're a fan of Parachutes by Coldplay (Coldplay's first record and the album everyone back-handedly compliments as "actually good") give Ghost Stories a go.
Notable track mentions : Another's Arms, True Love, Always in my Head, Oceans

An absolute masterpiece from a genius gone way too soon. Jeff brings unbelievably powerful vocal performances and beautiful instrumentation, along with deeply poetic songwriting. A classic 90‘s art rock album!

This album is seriously incredible. One of those albums that keeps me coming back for more and more and I seem to not get tired of it when I revisit. Some truly beautiful and also brutal and depressive moments on here that have only gotten better with time.
