EP Review: Ghost Arcadia – Libero (Self Released)

Carl Fisher 2 min read

Born out of duo, Reuben Beau Davies and Anthony Hollis’ passion for live music, performance and production, Ghost Arcadia finalised their four-piece line up with Adam Ford (lead guitar) and Ali McCreadie (drums). With each member growing up listening to music so different from one another, it’s no surprise that Ghost Arcadia’s genre fits no box. They pride themselves on not being pigeonholed and writing what feels right for them in any given moment. Musically, Ghost Arcadia take note from an eclectic influence pool, including the likes of: Twenty One Pilots, White Lies, You Me at Six and The Killers.

Ghost Arcadia are keen to make new waves across further regions without losing their dedicated fan base right here in the capital. The band are DIY through and through and keep this value in mind with every project, gig and team they work with – they’re doing it themselves and 2020 is set to be a big year for these lads.

Starting with their brand new EP, Libero. Released on February 20th 2020.

The professional indie rock vibes are strong in this release, something that the EP ups with that extra notch. Beginning with the mellow yet powerful Hide and Seek and leading into the catchy Glory. Ghost Arcadia showcase their excellent harmonious abilities while also delivering rock tunes worthy of any radio station. The latter is such a banger, excitingly bouncy while also being a hell of a singalong. A track that simply should be taking the rock world by storm.

There’s no topping that but by damn if Ghost Arcadia don’t try with the daring groove of Seize the Day and the gorgeous melodies of Forever and A Day.

At around 15 minutes long, there’s no good reason to not check this EP out. Hell, if you’re really strapped for time then just give Glory a spin. One of 2020’s best rock songs and Ghost Arcadia should be very proud of what they have accomplished here.

1. Hide and Seek
