keeprighton2 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Named after the line from 'Theologians', anyone like them? Really recommend the record, been out a couple of months - called 'Thirst For Romance'. They come from Manchester in England (Bolton actually) and are the inspiration of Simon Aldred. Its got that beautiful but gloomy Manchester indie feel with a fair amount of country thrown in. Some lovely tunes. Check it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 There's been some discussion in other threads (looks like some of the UK VCers are listening to them, anyway). That's a hard one to search for, you definitely get stuff unrelated to "Cherry Ghost". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Frank Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Has anyone picked up on the latest 'Cherry Ghost' record? I listened to it the other day and was actually quite impressed. However both records (their debut album came out a couple of years back) could have been so much better without the slight commercial leanings. The singer/songwriter obviously has impecable taste (apart from the obvious) and you wish that would be more to the front. There is a heavy debt to Mark Linkous, who is mentioned in the 'credits'. They also covered 'Junebug' as a b-side recently. It seems like they are stuck between paying homage to their heroes and trying to sell a shed loads of records. Consequently they sound like a mix between Sparklehorse and Coldplay, which is a pretty strange sound. However, I am interested what other people think of this band. p.s: If I see them live I'g gonna have to wear my Wilco 'Cherry Ghost' t-shirt!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rock Pools Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I loved their debut, will definetely buy this new record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
