Biography
Holy Ghost Revival
Here are some nice things that have been written about them in the US press
"An admirably self-possessed band, Seattle's Holy Ghost Revival reside in an ivory tower of their own design; a singular niche seemingly unencumbered by the expectations of prospective fans or their musical peers. They combine the most mountainous extremities of glam rock (borderline fantasy lyrics, English folk covers, hyper-dramatic singing) with Nintendo-classical arpeggios and occasional bursts of raw power. Impressively, through all of the thickets of witch references and Christmas dreams, the Holy Ghost Revival's music never feels contrived; their songs feel as earnest and emotionally propulsive as any indie-rock band's. Their recently released full-length, Bleeding Light, is one of the most prodigious and fully realized debuts produced by a young band in years, and their live shows are similarly Herculean." -Sam Mickens, The Mercury.
"...That same night, Holy Ghost Revival release their new record, Bleeding Light, with a show at the Vera Project. I've been a big fan of this band for a while now; their music is a time capsule to a period much further back and more thought out than the strip-mined eras of '70s punk and '80s pop. With song titles about frozen moons, sound effects of bubbling brooks, and lines like "witches fly on cold winter's night," they mix the black magic of a Renaissance narrative with glam, coming up with a baroque rock sound all their own. Their lyrics hold the romance of days long past, as do the piano-heavy/harmonica-spiked compositions, shooting the music into orbits of dusty moonage daydreams..."
-Jennifer Maerz, the Stranger.
