"Their music is a reminder to me that pop music doesn't have to come in a neat, restrained package,” added Thornewill, “It's ok to get weird and own it - And you can still be catchy.” "Something magical about Queen to me is that their songs are so catchy, but the song structures are so wonderfully wrong and they're so unafraid to showcase their chops," said Tommy Siegel. Through being forced to do a deep dive into Queen's catalogue, the band says they ended up discovering themselves in the process. This isn't a matter of happenstance - The band has recently made a tradition of "HalloQueen," a yearly show where they perform two sets: One as themselves, followed by a set break, and one in costume (and in character) as Queen. One influence stands out in particular as a common thread: Queen. Thornewill recorded over 170 vocal tracks in "Jumpstarted," and somehow you can hear them all. The guitar solo kicks the door down and you're front row at an arena rock show. A synth solo enters and you're suddenly in a section vaguely resembling hip-hop. A mishmash of modern pop, retro vocals and classic rock indulgence, it's a head-spinning listen for the first go-round that the band describes as "what it's like to be inside of Ben (Thornewill, lead singer/pianist)'s brain." A thickly-layered vocal intro builds into a showcase of Thornewill’s virtuosic classical piano chops and then abruptly vaults into a bouncy, upbeat pop chorus led by Jesse Kristin’s punchy backbeat drumming. Every generation has a band that puts a fresh twist on piano-rock, and Jukebox the Ghost’s latest studio offering serves as a memorably vivid and kaleidoscopic step forward for the genre.įrom the opening vocal stack of "Jumpstarted," it's obvious that Jukebox the Ghost has newfound confidence in embracing bold musical risks. Though it's the fifth studio outing from this long-running trio of piano pop wizards, it plays like an energetic debut album: Just as eager to please as it is eager to surprise you.
Jukebox the Ghost's latest record, Off To The Races is a giddy, vibrant collection of Jukebox the Ghost's most bombastic, colorful songs to date.

FOR A MORE DETAILED AND PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY PLEASE CONTINUE READING. Take a look at the album's tracklisting below.WE HAVE BEEN A BAND FOR ALMOST 10 YEARS. “All in all, the most current and topical Ghost subject matter to date is set against a hypnotic and darkly colorful melodic backdrop, making Impera a listen like no other – yet unmistakably, quintessentially Ghost.” “Over the course of Impera's 12-song cycle, empires rise and fall, would-be messiahs ply their hype (financial and spiritual alike), prophecies are foretold as the skies fill with celestial bodies divine and man-made. “The result is the most ambitious and lyrically incisive entry in the Ghost canon,” they explain. According to the band, it will transport fans “hundreds of years forward from the 14th century Europe Black Plague era” of their previous album, 2018's Prequelle. Ghost's fifth full-length, Impera, arrives March 11 via Loma Vista/Concord. A post shared by The Band Ghost (opens in new tab)
