The aptly titled “Ghost” is an artful rock success from Marital Bed, incorporating haunting vocal layers amidst jumpy guitar fervency. From the da-da-ing vocal playfulness to “I know somebody…” mystique, the commanding vocals exude an ethereal yet chilling allure, navigating seamlessly across a variety of guitar-forward enthrallment — especially enamoring just prior to the three-minute turn, with an uptick in twangy intrigue, thumping rhythms, and vocal intensity; the whirring impact at the three-minute mark invigorates. “Ghost” is a wholly consuming statement from Marital Bed, who describe the release as “about old rich men selling their souls to the devil for money and the women they destroy along the way.”
