Ghost Games
, D.C.'s guitar-free quartet
Apes
create a sound that acts as a window to an alternate world, some strange dimension where
Black Sabbath
and
Deep Purple
team up to create a dense, swirling storm of organ, impossibly fuzzy bass, and soaring vocals. This effort is a showcase for
Apes
' ability to write dynamic, shifting songs that find the band pairing sparse arrangements with heavy dirges of organ and Moog with a feeling that has decidedly less garage influence. Instead,
Ghost Games
finds the group making a decisive shift toward a darker, heavier, and more atmospheric psychedelic influence. A notable change on this record is vocalist
Breck Brunson
replacing
Paul Weil
.
Brunson
's versatile falsetto is a perfect accompaniment for
Apes
' sound, effortlessly soaring over the wall of low-end fuzz while delivering the irreverent lyrics that the band is known for.
"Practice Hiding"
and
"Info Ghost"
really show off the dynamic tones at work on the album, with the interplay between
Brunson
's voice and the organs creating an effect where the high notes seem higher and the low notes feel impossibly low, filling the entire sonic spectrum.
"Beat of the Double"
and
"First Light"
have a lush and atmospheric feeling thanks to a more bare-bones arrangement that allows the reverb-rich organ and synthesizers to fill up the space, creating a vast, dark soundscape for the listener to get lost in. With
Ghost Games
,
Apes
have expanded their sound and pushed their brand of experimental art pop even further than before, making this one of their most exciting and enjoyable works to date. ~ Gregory Heaney, All Music Guide
